So AECL designed and built two replacement reactors called MAPLEs, each one capable of producing the same volume of isotopes as the NRU had done.  Problem is, the MAPLE reactors don&#8217;t work as designed.  In fact they are unsafe. Despite many years the nuclear experts have been unable to figure out why, so now they are being dismantled without ever serving a useful purpose. Gordon Edwards is briefly interviewed.<br \/>\n<!-- END description --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--START LINK TO ORIGINAL VIDEO --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PuJa7xbtBSg\">Link to original video<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--END LINK TO ORIGINAL VIDEO --><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.ccnr.org\/fr\/audio-visual-directory\/\">Audio-Visual Directory<\/a><\/b><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unsafe: Two brand new MAPLE reactors scrapped July 2008 GE on CBC News; 2m9s In 2000 the large NRU research reactor, producing a very large fraction of the world&#8217;s medical isotopes, was supposed to be shut down permanently after working for 43 years.
