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.
