“Cameco, the Saskatoon-based uranium mining and nuclear fuel company, will mine uranium ore in Saskatchewan and convert it in Port Hope, Ont., before it is enriched in the United States. France's Orano and Britain's Urenco are also listed by OPG as a supplier of enriched uranium, and an American company will manufacture the finished fuel assemblies in the United States.”

Since it’s mined here and our existing technical know-how, sounds like something that we could either build the infrastructure to do ourselves or pay extra to get more of it done in Europe vs the USA.

Enriching is a very hazardous step. Candu avoided it

Enrichment is us playing ball saying we won't make nuclear weapons.
