en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has renewed the license of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) to continue remediation work at the former Gunnar uranium mine and mill site, valid until 2031. The CNSC also ruled that this renewal does not trigger the Crown's statutory duty to consult Indigenous groups, as the renewal does not authorize any new activities or cause impacts. The decision was made on May 19 and published on May 20, allowing the SRC to continue Phase 2 remediation activities at the northern Saskatchewan site for five years. The renewed license is valid until May 31, 2031, and does not authorize any new activities. The Gunnar site, located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Uranium City near Lake Athabasca, operated from 1955 to 1963 and closed in 1964, with only minimal decommissioning work completed at the time. The site is situated within Treaty 8 territory, the Métis homeland, and the traditional territories of the Denesuline, Cree, and Métis peoples.
