The CNSC (Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) has issued their decision, albeit a temporary one. They have decided to extend the license of SRB Technologies to continue processing tritium at their Pembroke, Ontario facility. You can read the news release at this URL:

While this blogger does not agree with the decision I agree that further review is required and that by extending the current license there will be continued controls on the company with respect to the processing and disposal of this radioactive material.
For your education here are some links to background articles and to another action group that is worried about the radioactive highjinx of SRB.

Let's hope that the final decision will be to prohibit the activities that are so obviously negligent from an environmental perspective.
Cheers from the Valley.
