Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element used for fuel in nuclear power reactors. Canada is one of the
world's largest uranium producers. The majority of Canada's production is exported.
Uranium is mined to provide uranium ore which is processed at a milling facility to produce uranium concentrate. The
uranium concentrate is then processed further to create fuel for
nuclear reactors.
