however the british authority has already prepared a complete replacement strategy if a 'no deal' occurs.
No no effect on nucleara power at all. Except it might get cheaper
Its easy enough in 2 years to organise 'life without the EU' . The fact that others haven't done it is simply a meassure of laziness and incompetence.

No, it hasn't. I hope neither you nor anybody near to you needs radiotherapy for a cancer.

the radioisotopes can never be stockpiled delays in transport (doh!). Pay particular attention to Technectium-99m, Iodine-131 and "Xofigo".
All are imported, and the cancer patients are completely dependent on those imports.
Or perhaps you have evidence (not a pious assertion) to support your claim?
Don't start quoting those that have a track record of claiming it will be trivially easy to negotiate new treaties and countries will be queuing up to do deals with us. Even the fragrant Liam Fox MP has abandoned his claims in the face of evidence!

Ah. Project fear again.
Grandmother, eggs, suck
Indeed.

"Most medical radioisotopes made in nuclear reactors are sourced from relatively few research reactors, including:
HFR at Petten in Netherlands (supplied via IRE and Curium). BR-2 at Mol in Belgium (supplied via IRE and Curium). Maria in Poland (supplied via Curium). Orphee at Saclay in France (supplied via IRE). FRJ-2/FRM-2 at Jülich in Germany (supplied via IRE). LVR-15 at Rez in Czech Republic (supplied via IRE). HFETR at Chengdu in China. Safari in South Africa (supplied from NTP). OPAL in Australia (supplied from ANM). ETRR-2 in Egypt (forthcoming: supplied to domestic market). Dimitrovgrad in Russia (Isotop-NIIAR). NRU at Chalk River in Canada (supplied via MDS Nordion) ceased production in October 2016, and the reactor closed down in March 2018."
So yes, I have evidence that if the European Union as an act of war decides to PREVENT exports of these items to a nation that is in WTO rules, same as any other nation like - say - Equador - this making itself an international pariah state, it would not be impossible to source them from other nations.
Oh dear. Kool aid now drunk I see.

And at the same time you rubbish things that are being done like stockpiling insulin as project fear.
Typical brexiteer can't think of a better way to do it but complain about what is being done.

Remarkably, if unsurprisingly, you contradict yourself in your own post...
That's exactly the point the "project fear" document makes.
Are you really expecting countries to perform illegal actions exporting nuclear materials to other countries that aren't part of a common regulatory framework.
By Brexiteers *intent*, once we are out of Euratom we will be in the same position as N. Korea.
The kool aid is believing it will be easy.
Look at how Wallonia (half of Belgium) held up the trade treaty with Canada. Spain is going to have real fun doing that with us over Gibraltar :(
As a eurocrat put it, member states can and will regard future treaty negotiations as a christmas tree: *each* will hang their own bauble on it. And we will be out in the cold until *all* baubles have been agreed. That's at least 27 baubles :(

The regulartorty framework is *already* in place for a post brexit situation
No, we will not. This has all beenm dealt with by te UKs regulatory nuclear authoirity
YOU read the headlines in te scaremonger press. *I* read the small colunmns in the nuclear industru press.
It is trivially easy if yoiu e.g. give way to every demanmd like May has done
Agreed gettinmg a FAIR deal takes te sort of work she is not capable of.
Thats whey we need to simply leave with no deal Then they can f*ck right off.
That why we have to leave the EU
