Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Banks, you have a series of recommendations for government, including recommendation 2b. that reads as follows:b. detailed planning of a new multi-purpose reactor for research and isotope production that can take over and expand the functions of the aging NRU reactor over the long term.
Do you plan on using what was developed under the MAPLE projects? As you know AECL abandoned these reactors in 2008. Yet, some witnesses have told us that MAPLE projects could work.
Is there a relationship between the MAPLE projects and the new reactor you are recommending?
