But there's a new Sheriff in town now. <br /><br />Lisa Raitt has to accountable on this one.

NRU was already old then.<br />What the Mulroney government did not do when it privatized Nordion (Nordion marketed and sold the isotopes and was assured of a supply from AECL, i.e. future taxpayers) was properly price the cost and risk of building the MAPLE reactors that were to provide isotopes for Nordion. I think AECL engineers will tell you that MAPLE failed because they were forced to try to design and build them on the cheap.<br /><br />There is plenty of blame to go around all the way from the Mulroney era to the present government, and governments in between.tedhsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762609953990464067noreply@blogger.com
