Natural Resources committee  The minuscule and the small incidents were not reported. But for significant incidents, for example, a trip, or if our Pickering nuclear plant shut down, they have to come to us and explain why.

Natural Resources committee  Well, that's the other side. In fact, we have some advisory committees who keep telling us, “Don't tell us all the routine stuff. We're not interested in the routine stuff.” So you get caught as to what it is that you report. And we are working with the industry now as to what wo

Natural Resources committee  Correct.

Natural Resources committee  Well, the moment something happens.... First of all, everybody should know that there are all kinds of bells and whistles and triggers and indicators measuring things that might happen. If something gets triggered, operators go in and try to find out what's wrong. If they suspe

Natural Resources committee  To the public.

Natural Resources committee  I just want to add that we've already acknowledged we can report better and we acknowledge we can do a better job of explaining what's going on. The one thing I need to emphasize is that there's a difference between something inside the facility and what is happening in the envir

Natural Resources committee  In any industrial project, from petroleum to coal mines, you name it, there are what are known as “planned emissions”. In our business it is controlled, it is monitored, it is measured. In other words, we set the boundary of what is acceptable in the operation. These boundaries

Natural Resources committee  Not necessarily. I don't know if you have ever visited that site or any other nuclear plant. I must tell you, the first time I visited it was only about nine months ago. What surprised me is the size--the magnitude and complexity. There are literally miles of pipes, of switches.

Natural Resources committee  Not to my knowledge.

Natural Resources committee  On Sunday a leak was detected. We were informed on Sunday of the leak.

Natural Resources committee  Right.

Natural Resources committee  If memory serves me right, there are something like 65 tonnes of heavy water in this particular facility. This is on the same order of magnitude as if you had a leak in your faucet at home--you know, drip, drip, drip.

Natural Resources committee  But that's what we do. We determine the magnitude of the leak and we determine its safety consideration before we consider it to be of significance. And by the way, as an aside, if you look at our chart, we have a regulatory limit, the maximum allowed in a spill, and then we hav

Natural Resources committee  Yes. The maximum allowed is 7,000.

Natural Resources committee  Right.
