Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses here today. We appreciate your being here.
I'll start with you, Mr. Binder. You mentioned Fukushima in your presentation, and I'm going to ask you two questions about it. The first is, can you give us an approximate idea of the liabilities resulting from what happened with the Fukushima nuclear plant, the total cost of cleanup? Those estimates would be helpful to us.
My second question is on the issue of the small nuclear reactors in the north. You do flag small reactors in your presentation, the SLOWPOKE research reactors. Those are in ideal conditions, of course, in southern Canada. What's being proposed, of course, is not for the ideal conditions found on some university campus in southern Canada; we're talking about very demanding, very difficult conditions, particularly if the proposal is to have these small nuclear reactors operating as power sources to mining developments in the north. We're talking about very harsh, very difficult conditions.
When you talk about evaluation, I'd like to know to what extent the commission would be evaluating any type of application under harsh conditions? To what extent would these additional criteria be brought in, the ones that are obviously present, which would make this a more risky proposition than having a SLOWPOKE reactor on a university campus in the south?
