This is an initiative we have had under way since the decision was made to terminate the MAPLE project, which is now over a year ago. At that time it was clear that in order to fulfill our commitment to produce isotopes for the global marketplace we would have to renew the operating licence of the NRU and the Chalk River facility for the production of isotopes. It was on that basis that we developed an isotope supply reliability program, which is basically the sequenced phase set of activities we will undertake to successfully secure a licence renewal from the CNSC. We have a protocol signed with the CNSC for the conduct of that project, so we're certainly very intent on achieving that licence renewal. We're working very closely with the regulator to ensure that we take all the necessary steps to ensure that it will happen.
