“Yellowcake” is the bright yellow uranium powder produced when raw uranium ore is crushed and purified. For decades, Canada has been the world’s largest producer of uranium: home to the richest ore bodies, the largest uranium mine in the world, and the world’s biggest publicly traded uranium mining company.
Scientists and government have long promoted the nuclear industry as a safe and clean energy source. Yet nuclear energy competes with renewables and has huge economic, health, and environmental costs to the public – especially Indigenous communities and their food, cultural, and medicine resources.
