Search every verified Tim Gitzel interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Tim Gitzel, chief executive officer of Cameco, discussed the company’s recent performance and outlook in interviews and an earnings call. He said Cameco maintained its full-year production guidance despite operational disruptions, including a temporary shutdown at Cigar Lake and flooding issues affecting the McArthur River, attributing the resilience to operational flexibility. Gitzel also noted that the company is optimistic about regulatory changes in Canada, stating that while timelines are shortening, a stringent regulatory structure for nuclear is necessary to maintain social and regulatory license. He added that Cameco is "happy to be in Canada" and described the country as a well-regarded jurisdiction for selling products in over 30 countries. Gitzel highlighted growing demand for nuclear power, particularly from data centers operated by large technology companies, which he said are seeking reliable, 24/7 baseload power. He mentioned that Cameco and Westinghouse, with partner Brookfield, are positioned to play a significant role in this demand, citing a recent agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy to order long-lead items for Westinghouse reactors. On market fundamentals, Gitzel said the industry is still not at replacement-rate demand, but noted that uranium prices have risen to the mid-90s per pound, and stated that Cameco is not prepared to dilute asset value by committing supply to contracts that do not reflect market durability. He also attributed renewed interest in nuclear to climate, energy, and national security concerns, referencing lessons learned after the Fukushima disaster.

Notable quotes

“We just a few weeks ago signed a deal that the Department of Energy is going to put up 17.5 billion dollars to order long lead items for Westinghouse reactors.”

“What we're seeing now is these big hyperscalers data centers. They're coming to the utilities and even straight to Westinghouse looking for nuclear power, base load 24/7 reliable dispatchable power that can power these data centers. And I've never seen anything like it, the demand from these data centers and what they're going to require.”

“The prime minister, I just said to him, you want a nation building project? It's nuclear. Like no question about it. We're ready.”

“The environment for nuclear is as good as I've seen it in over 40 years. It's firing right now for a lot of reasons, a lot of reasons we don't love. Wars going on around the world, uncertainty, uncertainty of supply chains, but the need for nuclear has never been greater and thus the need for our products.”

“At the end of October, our company Kamico along with our partner Brookfield and Westinghouse announced an $80 billion partnership with the US government to commence building Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors across the United States.”

“The world needs a way to power that growth. The call for nuclear could not be louder. Of course, we all know the advantages that nuclear power has over other forms of electrical generation. It's reliable. It's carbon-free. It's scalable. And it has a significantly smaller footprint.”
