Business Wire
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,
Cameco’s 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 industry’s 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.
