Cameco Vision 2010

Abstract

Cameco Vision 2010 is a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the Port Hope conversion facility, which is Canada’s oldest continually operating nuclear facility. The project involves the removal of old or under-utilized buildings, the removal of contaminated soils, building materials and historic wastes, and the construction of new replacement buildings. Dealing effectively with the human environment is considered equally important to a project’s success as addressing the biophysical environment. The project completed a community consultation process early in 2006 and, subsequently, Cameco significantly enhanced its community outreach program. This paper presents a summary of Cameco Vision 2010 and community engagement activities.
