Great show. There was lots of activity in Ontario this week. Ontario is going to build some new reactors. The interesting question is will they select CANDU or American technology. What do you recommend?

I hate to recommend a single technology because each one has it's pros and cons. And I REALLY wish all the suppliers would get together and decide on a standard plant design that will yield economies of scale and a more rapid learning curve, but I know that will never happen.

All that being said, I really like the elegant simplicity of the ESBWR. That's a lot coming from a guy with 20+ years operating PWRs!
