WiN Durham - Cameco Conversion Facility Tour - Port Hope

Come visit the place where the uranium fuel for all Canadian CANDU operations is produced!

Cameco's Port Hope Conversion Facility converts refined uranium trioxide (UO₃) into other forms needed to produce fuel for electricity generation.

The plant uses separate processes to produce natural uranium dioxide (UO₂) to fuel Canadian-designed CANDU reactors and uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) to feed enrichment plants in the United States and Europe that produce the fuel for light water reactors.

On Tuesday, March 26^th, 2024 from 5:30pm - 7:00pm, there will be an opportunity for 18 people to tour this historic location which has seen uranium production in some form since 1942.
