Our competitive advantages have prompted others to rate our chances at 60%
Key: 1. No need to transport tritium - a risk no other site could reasonably assure 2. Canada as “compromise” between strong EU & Japanese desires 3. Without Canada picking up the host share, any other site would be much more costly for Parties Also: 4. Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of Toronto area 5. Excellent engineering site characteristics 6. Favourable licensing environment 7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry Thus Canada will be in a very strong negotiating position.
