What is Cameco Fuel Manufacturings impact on the environment?
The company holds a licence from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) that is conditional on the operation of our facility not having a significant impact on the environment. The CNSC implements this licence condition by setting very restrictive limits on emissions. The facility’s actual environmental performance is monitored both by the company and by the CNSC. Cameco Fuel Manufacturing’s emissions to the air during the year 2005 were 0.16% of the regulatory limit and our emissions to water were 0.0096% of the regulatory limit.
