Obviously there's a lot of conversation about whether this is a first-of-a-kind thing. To a certain degree, in an attempt to try to simplify a complicated subject and reassure people, we give them examples of things that move around all the time. For example, consider the movement of cobalt, which occurs very regularly. Cobalt-60 is used in the production of isotopes. You asked the question earlier about molybdenum-99 isotopes. But it totally ignores the fact that in our facility today we produce something like 50% of the world's cobalt-60. It is harvested from our plant and moved around. So cobalt-60 moves around the seaways regularly, which from a radioactive point of view is much more significant.
As far as the movement of nuclear materials of a much greater radioactivity content, this is nothing like a precedent. But as was mentioned earlier, this is the first time for Canada that we've had large steam generators moving through the Great Lakes. That's why we're here. That's why I think there is a questioning attitude about what's there.
But it is the right thing to do. We are talking here about a massive volume reduction. We're going to reduce the volume of these components so that instead of filling 60 rooms like this, they will fit into a room half this size. That's the right thing to do. It has been tested and proven.
