About Cameco

Cameco is one of the largest global providers of the uranium fuel needed to energize a clean-air world. We are meeting the ever-increasing demand for clean, baseload electricity while delivering energy solutions to support the world’s net-zero goals. We have interests in tier-one mining and milling operations that have the licensed capacity to produce more than 30 million pounds of uranium concentrates annually, backed by more than 469 million pounds of proven and probable mineral reserves. We are also a leading supplier of uranium refining, conversion, and fuel manufacturing services.

Cameco Fuel Manufacturing is one of two suppliers serving Canada’s reactor fleet and is the largest Canadian-based fabricator of in-core reactor components for CANDU reactors around the world.

Our fuel manufacturing business consists of two facilities:

  • a fuel manufacturing plant in Port Hope where natural uranium dioxide (UO2) powder is pressed into pellets, fitted into zirconium tubes and then assembled into CANDU reactor fuel bundles.
  • a metal fabrication plant in Cobourg, Ontario that produces primarily zirconium metal fabrications for fuel bundle and reactor components.
