An Act to permit the resumption and continuation of the operation of the National Research Universal Reactor at Chalk RiverGovernment Orders

December 11th, 2007 / 8 p.m.

President and Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

Linda J. Keen

Mr. Chair, I would like to start by saying that after the safety case and the request for a licence amendment are made, then the CNSC staff will analyze this. I will ask Mr. Howden to give an estimate of that. An application is then put before the tribunal. We can put the tribunal together in 24 hours for a licence amendment to hear this. It is the tribunal that will give this licence amendment, but we are ready to move quickly on that, and we are prepared to issue a decision one way or another from the chair without reasons for a decision.

Mr. Howden, do you have an estimate of the time?
