Cameco

Cameco's Role

Cameco has no role in the spent fuel management industry.

Cameco is, of course, supportive of nuclear industry solutions for long-term storage that meet stringent criteria for safety, environmental protection and the acceptance and benefit of host communities. However, we are not a participant in siting processes in any of the countries in which we operate.

It would take at least 33,750 wind turbines with a capacity of 2 MW each to replace the current generating power of Canada’s nuclear fleet. That would equate into a wind farm covering at least 8,733 square km – about half the size of Lake Ontario.
