AECL provides update on NRU Planned Outage Activities for the upcoming one month shutdown

AECL provides update on NRU Planned Outage Activities for the upcoming one month shutdown: http://www.aecl.ca/NewsRoom/Community_Bulletins/2013/130312.htm "AECL reports that the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor will enter a planned outage beginning on April 14, 2013 and ending May 14, 2013. The purpose of the outage is to conduct scheduled inspection and maintenance. This marks the third annual outage for the NRU. Inspection results to date continue to confirm that the NRU vessel remains fit for service.
In addition to the annual vessel inspection, work is planned during the outage to enhance the reliability and safety of NRU. A dedicated work management outage team has been established to coordinate the activities of suppliers, NRU specialists and supporting departments ensuring the safe and successful execution of the outage.
Facility users and the isotope community have been informed well in advance of this outage and have taken steps to adjust their activities.
The ongoing operations of the NRU allow AECL to continue to produce medical isotopes and provide vital research support to scientists and universities from across Canada and around the world."
Seems that Petten is down at same time:  http://www.nrg.eu/nuclear-services/news/item/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=123&cHash=e6f54ed2df23a3a62130bac46a61d595
