An Integrated Nuclear Fuel Supplier

Cameco provides refining, conversion and nuclear fuel manufacturing services:

• Blind River refinery, Ontario - refines uranium concentrates from around the world into UO₃
• Port Hope conversion facility, Ontario - converts UO₃ to UF₆ or UO₂.
• Cameco Fuel Manufacturing Inc., Ontario - manufactures CANDU fuel bundles and reactor components

Cameco provides about 25% of the world’s UF₆ conversion capacity and we are the world’s only commercial supplier of natural UO₂.

Approximately 80% of the UO₃ received at Cameco’s conversion facility is converted to UF₆, which is then exported for enrichment. The remaining 20% is used to supply CANDU reactors throughout the world with natural UO₂.

Cameco also has agreements to manage the procurement of fuel and fuel services for Bruce Power Limited Partnership (BPLP) operating CANDU nuclear reactors at the Bruce B generating station in Ontario, Canada.
