Actually, I'm not sure I can answer it either.

It has certainly not been in the time that I can recall. Before the NRX reactor was taken out of service, I believe in the early 1990s, there was a second reactor at Chalk River that could back up the NRU. Since that time, I've not been aware of any isotope shortage of the magnitude that occurred at the end of 2007, or the current.
