Mr. Chair, the isotope production in Chalk River is not carried out by a Candu reactor. The NRU reactor is a research reactor. It is very different from a Candu reactor. In fact the NRU reactor was used to help develop the Candu reactor.
Medical isotopes, such as the most important isotope, molybdenum 99, are not made in Candu reactors.
