This actually predates my time, so it's rather hearsay, but if you look at the specification we were responding to, there was no hint that we were going to be chasing after that initially. I can understand this. We have a lot of work in front of us, first just in properly transitioning the reactor, closing it down, taking care of the liability, and proving that we can deliver on projects in an economic fashion. First things first: we get that straight. We're on that journey right now, and we're gaining momentum. Then we would certainly be interested in bringing the national lab a neutron source in the future as well.
