First of all, I'm a mining engineer. I'm a rock mechanics engineer. In fact, I specialize in that kind of area. Nuclear waste disposal is not an issue. We could dispose of the nuclear waste very easily. The problem is social. Where are you going to put it? Nobody wants it in their backyard.
There is also a lot of emotional reaction, and some of it has to be addressed. Of all the power and all the energy we have, 60% comes from nuclear reactors. Most people figure that somehow it's going to disappear. No, in fact it's one of the most sustainable energy sources that we have, and if we want to save the globe in terms of global warming, we have to embrace it.
There is a lot of research happening. We've had small nuclear plants running around the world—nuclear submarines for instance. We have some research on the books that you'll probably hear about from the nuclear experts at Chalk River for instance. They want a demonstration site to show how a portable modular plant can work. It is something that you can put in and use for 20 to 30 years, or whatever the life of the mine is. Then you can take it out, refurbish it at some other location, and use it again elsewhere without having to have a permanent storage at that site.
In terms of the research that's being done, my organization, MIRARCO is doing work with the nuclear waste disposal group in terms of ensuring that—
