Summer and the fishing is fine

Well, I'm winding down blogging for fishing.  It's the start of the bass season, and I should be more into that.  I'd like to say I'm shutting down completely, but that's a horrible thing to do, since we know then there will be a big earthquake tomorrow.

Things on the back burner.

AECL - now all the wait is over.

Bruce Deep Thing - nothing going on as the greenies buy their chains.

New Nuclear - see AECL above.

New Zealand - there can't be any more damage there, even though we'll get a big earthquake every few months.

The US - they shall just sink, gracefully.

Thus, really, even if I went canoeing up north with no news whatsoever, I don't expect anything to happen.  :)

AECL sold for a buck, no chance for new reactors

Article


SNC-Lavalin will focus on servicing the 34 CANDU reactors in seven countries, said Yuri Lynk, an analyst at Canccord Genuity in Montreal.
“The main gist behind buying it is to get guaranteed access to the refurbishment work,” Lynk said in a telephone interview. “They’re still working on the design for third- generation reactors while their competitors are well on their way to completing similar if not bigger reactors in China and they’ve even broken ground in Georgia.”

I think this about tells the story.  SNC will do their usual job of milking the existing candu's, and no chance for new reactors since they are blown out of the water.

What will Ontario do?

Very cute.  Will latch your cupboard in an earthquake.  I wonder how you test them?
