...after all...A crucial Atomic Energy of Canada reactor at Chalk River, Ont., has restarted after a routine maintenance shutdown ran a couple of days longer than expected.Despite all the hysteria on CTV news the last three or four days... it seems there is, well... no crisis after all.
Dr. Christopher O'Brien of the Ontario Association of Nuclear Medicine says the isotope supply should be completely restored by Thursday.
Meanwhile, he says, there are enough doses available for emergency treatments, so no patients will be affected.
Is anybody else getting tired of hearing about... (a) how we're getting our asses kicked in Afghanistan, (b) the imminent glacial meltdown and swamping of the Maritimes (c) soldiers in our streets... with guns... etc, etc, ad nauseam?
These days it's all just one big left-leaning "Entertainment Tonight."
I miss the actual news.

UPDATE: CTV... they just can't help themselves
Ontario's medical community has "dodged the bullet," learning today that cancer treatments that depend on nuclear isotopes will be back to full strength by the end of the week.Oh no... what are Lloyd & Lisa gonna have to freak out about tonight?
