Interested in seeing how we assemble fuel pellets that help power Ontario?
Check out the virtual tour of our fuel pellet assembly operations in Toronto, Ontario by viewing the video below.
At BWXT in Toronto, we make ceramic pellets from natural uranium dioxide powder.
Our Toronto facility receives natural uranium dioxide powder from Cameco Corporation in Port Hope.
After pressing, baking, grinding to a precise size and inspection, we send the pellets to our facility in Peterborough. There, they are placed into fuel bundles for CANDU® power stations.
The pellets produced at our Toronto facility go on to provide approximately 25% of Ontario’s electricity!
BWXT employs 40 people in Toronto in manufacturing, engineering, environmental health and safety and several other critical fields.
Our Toronto facility is licensed by Canada’s nuclear regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
