CNS Meeting 2011

This conference, this year in Niagara Falls, continues to have a very Canadian focus and one big change from last year’s meeting is the absence of Areva. Has the situation regarding AECL been resolved? AECL will sell all its commercial activities and become almost like a national lab. The accident at Fukushima has had a very big effect on the possible nuclear planning here. With the very cold winters nuclear power plants need to be able to cope if there is a prolonged lack of electricity supply due to ice?
