NRU is back up and running after the planned one month shutdown

NRU is back up and running after the planned one month shutdown, come over for your neutron experiments!... this is the link to the news of startup from AECL but not a lot of info there as far as what was learnt from the vessel inspections.... http://www.aecl.ca/NewsRoom/Community_Bulletins/2012/120516.htm "AECL reports that the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor was returned to operation, as planned, from its extended outage during the early morning of May 16.
The purpose of the 2012 planned outage was to perform annual vessel inspections and to complete maintenance work designed to enhance the reliability of NRU.
Prior to the start of the outage, facility users and the isotope community were notified well in advance and took steps to adjust their activities.
The NRU is currently operating at high power, producing medical isotopes and available to provide vital research and testing support to the science community, universities, and industry from across Canada and around the world."
