Question No. 282 Mrs. Michelle Simson: With respect to the Buffalo fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft which entered into service with the Canadian Armed Forces in 1967: (a) what was the original estimated operational lifespan of the aircraft; (b) how many aircraft are currently operational; (c) what is their current estimated operational lifespan; (d) what is the cost associated with maintaining the fleet for the previous fiscal year; (e) what measures are being ...[+++] taken to extend the operational life of the Buffalo; and (f) what are the operational capabilities of the current fleet?

The time (in hours) measured within the prescribed temperature bin of the vehicle's catalyst temperature histogram adjusted to a full useful life basis e.g., if the histogram represented 400 km, and useful life is 160 000 km; all histogram time entries would be multiplied by 400 (160 000/400).

While the purchase prices of these products might rise (at least in the short term), their superior performance more than offsets this over the life span of the product by lower usage costs.

After having analysed these costs categories, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the compensations will not exceed what is necessary to repay the shortfall in investment costs repayment over the asset’s lifetime, including where necessary a reasonable profit margin.

Any reduction in fishing mortality entails an immediate loss of earnings but while this loss for some stocks (as a rule stocks where fish have a short lifespan) is offset only by a lower risk of collapse, for others it also results in a long-term gain in production by weight as the stock is overexploited in terms of yield per recruit.

The RTD activities will relate to the following six topics: - "Exploring new concepts" in order to address the three main issues of concern: reactor safety, the management and disposal of long-lived radionuclides, and the risk of diversion of fissile materials; - "Reactor safety" the aim being to acquire a better understanding of the mechanisms of severe accidents, in order to improve safety measures and prevention; - "Closing the nuclear fuel cycle" the objective of which is to address issues relating to the disposal of long-lived radioactive waste (safety aspects of geological disposal, retrieval of waste, and the safeguarding of spe ...[+++]nt fuel, etc.); - "Radiological impact on man and the environment" in order to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of radiation action (in-utero effects, impact on DNA, etc.) in order to eliminate or at least reduce induced effects on health and establish safety standards for the protection of the public, especially in sectors such as industry, medicine and energy production; - "Historical liabilities" given that the situation in Central and Eastern Europe and in the CIS remains a source of concern where nuclear safety is concerned.
