Radio active Kool Aid
Hi Mke
I've been following this in the news too. At first I read that Chalk River was going to be shut down for 2 weeks, but now it looks like it might be into the second week of January. Chalk River supplies the raw material to MDS Nordion who manufactures the isotopes and other radio pharmaceuticals. They are a major world supplier. I read that Atomic Energy Canada closed down Chalk River after an inspection showed that they had problems with some kind of water cooling pumps. I had no idea that they were the main supplier of this radio active stuff. Hopefully they will get everything fixed ASAP.
