Westinghouse resolves technology export dispute
with Korean Companies
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, January 16,
2025 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ)
is pleased to announce and support the resolution reached by Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) in its intellectual property dispute with Korea Electric Power Corporation and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.,
(collectively KEPCO and KHNP).
This is a positive outcome for both parties, which we believe facilitates bringing world-leading reactor technology
and related competencies in engineering, construction services, maintenance, fuel supply, and training to the global market, said Tim Gitzel, Camecos President and Chief Executive Officer. With more than 30 countries and over 100
companies pledging to triple nuclear capacity by 2050, the demand for nuclear power is undeniable. This agreement strengthens the industrys ability to provide carbon-free, reliable, dispatchable baseload electricity to help achieve climate,
energy and national security objectives.
Implementation of the settlement agreement that resolves the dispute establishes a framework for
additional deployments to the mutual benefit of Westinghouse, KEPCO and KHNP.
