The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) announced on Tuesday it will renew Cameco’s uranium mine and mill operating licenses at its Key Lake, McArthur River and Rabbit Lake sites.
The licences for the northern Saskatchewan sites will be valid from Nov. 1, 2013 to Oct. 31, 2023.
The licences were recently the subject of hearings in La Ronge earlier this month. The CNSC considered submissions from Cameco, 27 interveners and CNSC staff recommendations.
CNSC staff will have annual reports on the facilities’ operations at public CNSC proceedings. They will be held in northern Saskatchewan, and will look at their environmental impact.
