The majority of AECL (the CANDU reactor team) is un- or under employed after the buyout from the Canadian government - that's an entire workforce to tap into.

I thought CANDU was acquired by a private company--do you foresee another Canadian research reactor after Chalk River?

It was, but the workforce was severely slashed, and (due to low market necessity) would have been moreso if not for a unionized work force.

That I wasn't aware of--how is Deep River holding up?
