I'll raise a different line of questioning that the committee may want to examine, which is the ethics of what sorts of international safety standards we would be applying in selling a generation II reactor. This is a pre-Chernobyl, pre-September 11 reactor.
Notably, in 2005, the industry in Canada also looked at building the CANDU 6 in Ontario. Linda Keen applied international safety standards to it. It seems to have failed, because Ontario abandoned it at that time. She was subsequently fired.
We should be having a very serious discussion about the ethics of exporting such a design overseas.
