Thank you very much.
Yes, under the current legislation low-risk facilities, such as the Slowpoke reactors or other research reactors at educational institutions, have a lower limit of liability under commercial insurance they're required to carry. Then the federal government covers the difference between the amount of commercial insurance they are required to carry and the full liability limit of the legislation.
The same will happen under the proposed bill. Proposed paragraph 24(2)(b) provides that that will be done by regulation, that there will be a regulation that will establish lower limits for certain low-risk facilities, and they would be required to only purchase a certain amount, a lower amount, of commercial insurance and the government would backstop that up to the full liability.
The issue is that these facilities would be incapable of ever creating an accident that would come close to a billion dollar liability.
