You're correct about the medium term. Let's say it's roughly 18 months to three years, essentially operating with the same type of paradigm that we are now. Any short-term solution in a North American context--and we met with the U.S. Department of Energy, with their nuclear regulator, with the CNSC, with the chief laboratories in the U.S. and Canada--is essentially irradiating the same kind of material that goes into the NRU in another reactor and then shipping the irradiated material to Chalk River for processing, essentially under the same process as is done with the NRU.
That is a complex task. We're talking about the transportation of irradiated and highly radioactive material across borders, in some cases, and looking at the capacities of different reactors to accommodate these targets, given their physical characteristics. We've pursued work with the Oak Ridge laboratory, which seems to have a reactor that could accommodate that for portions of time, the Missouri University reactor, and McMaster. McMaster takes a bit more time than the others to get onstream.
We are pursuing that, and the U.S. administration is equally committed to trying to find solutions, but in the best case we're into September 2010 to replace part of the production of the NRU.
