Cameco To Restart Cigar Lake Mine After December Pandemic Shutdown :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Canada-based uranium miner Cameco is planning to restart production at its Cigar Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan in April, the company said in a statement on Friday.
Cameco suspended operations at Cigar Lake in mid-December 2020 because of the increasing risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company said at the time that the availability of workers in critical areas was shrinking, with more individuals screening out or living in communities with pandemic-related travel restrictions.
With the restart of Cigar Lake, Cameco will closely monitor the Covid-19 case counts and the progress of the vaccine rollout, and will continue dialogue with public health authorities and northern Saskatchewan leaders.

Rolls-Royce and Estonia-based nuclear technology startup Fermi Energia have signed a memorandum of understanding to study the potential for the deployment of small modular reactors in Estonia.
The UK company said the study will cover all aspects of deployment including grid suitability, cooling, emergency planning, human resources, licensing feasibility, economics and supply chain.
Rolls-Royce is leading a consortium that is designing a low-cost factory built SMR. Its standardised, factory-made components and advanced manufacturing processes push costs down, while the rapid assembly of the modules and components inside a weatherproof canopy on the power station site itself avoid costly schedule disruptions.
