thread_title:  Reference Material 

message: Chalk river unidentified deposits redirects here, but there is no mention. I've checked out some sources, and it seems that there is plenty of published material on this topic. A former section was removed since it "was ridiculous"—I'll agree, and I don't want to see it again. +mt 17:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chalk river unidentified deposits 

message: *** sup boys? this section was full of crap, so I cleaned it out. Please don't speculate about things you don't know about in the actual article. There was a loose thread about "oh, well, I guess the whole site will be GO-CO once the crown sells it" in this new NRU shutdown section... ummm, yeah... even if that was valid info it shouldn't be in a section on NRU shutting down. Come on people, get it together.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.47.148.202 (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if you go back out to the Main Page you'll see right at the top that it says "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." This means that if you think something needs clarification, rather than complaining about the article being "misleading" or suggesting that some past editor has "distorted" information, you can go and fix it yourself. Certainly one of the citations  reads, "The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) had ordered the 50-year-old Chalk River reactor closed," and the article already indicates that the shutdown was connected with meeting the CNSC's terms of licence.  If you think that the circumstances of shutdown are unclear in how the article now appears, Be Bold. Mike Doughney (talk) 01:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is nothing wrong with the statement as it appears in the article.  It was the operator (AECL) that extended the NRU shutdown and informed the regulator (CNSC) of this decision (see, for example, Section IX of the July 2008 Talisman International report).  However I've added text ("following consultation with the CNSC") to clarify that the decision was not made in a vacuum. Whitlock (talk) 04:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

So which article needs to be updated to be consistent with the other? TerraFrost (talk) 06:57, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  CRL produces about one-third of the world's supply of medical radioisotopes? 

message: It now says CRL produces a large share of the world's supply of medical radioisotopes. The ref given is 2011, before the shutdown of NRU in 2018. As far as I know, Canada now imports most if not all of her medical radioisotopes. They probably use moly cows but that's using an imported radioisotope for feedstock and so doesn't count; They may use particle accelerators but at the current stage of technology these mainly produce neutron deficient nuclides and most current radiopharmeceuticals are proton deficient for historical reasons.
I'll do an update when I can find sources, but if anyone else would like to do it, the current article is kinda embarrassing! Andrewa (talk) 20:19, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The CNL page states in part:
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, formerly the Chalk River Laboratories
The link to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is dead, and the link to this page isn't.  AECL page mentions CNL ... Very briefly ... With no links.  Can somebody please explain the inconsistencies?  Is there still a CNL that is the new name of Chalk River Labs?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.139.169 (talk) 19:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
