Cameco welcomes the federal government's nuclear energy strategy, which recognizes that Canada offers multiple nuclear reactor technologies including the Cameco-owned AP1000® reactor. The strategy reaffirms that provinces hold jurisdiction over technology choice, which directly impacts how Canada benefits from its nuclear sector, both domestically and internationally.
