The House of Commons passed emergency legislation late Tuesday night to reopen an Ontario nuclear reactor that produces most of the world's supply of critical medical isotopes, even though the site has been shut down for safety maintenance.
Damb the Torpedoe's ! Full speed ahead !
"There will be no nuclear accident, " Harper answered him in the Commons.
Really ? You promise ?
The operator of the Chalk River reactor, Atomic Energy of Canada Lt., had said it expected the plant to be up and running by the middle of this month, but the safety commission was refusing to allow it to restart production until it resolved a host of safety issues.
So what does this legislation do ?
The Conservatives, facing pressure to solve the shortfall, introduced Tuesday's bill to get Chalk River back online by circumventing the Liberal-appointed CNSC.
Why do i get the horrible feeling CNSC stands for Canadian Nuclear Safty Council ?
Lemme get this straight. The world ran out of medical isotopes ,or is running low , and your only nuclear plant to make them is down for safety issues.
You're solution ? Disolve the saftey board , start the reactor anyways.
I have only one thing to say about decisions like this.
