NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen" or the "Company") (TSX:NXE) (NYSE:NXE) (ASX: NXG) is pleased to announce that on June 21, 2024 the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ("CNSC") concluded their 30-day completeness check of NexGen's May 21, 2024 submission of responses to the remaining 49 technical review comments and revised Federal Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") for NexGen's 100% owned Rook I Project ("Rook I" or the "Project").
NexGen Energy有限公司("NexGen"或"公司") (TSX:NXE) (NYSE:NXE) (ASX:NXG) 很高兴地宣布，2024年6月21日加拿大核安全委员会("CNSC")完成其对NexGen所拥有的100%自有的Rook I 项目("Rook I"或"项目")的修改版联邦环境影响声明("EIS")和回应剩余的49项技术审查意见的提交的30天完整性审核。
The technical review by the CNSC has now commenced through the Federal-Indigenous Review Team, and upon confirmation that all technical review comments have been resolved after its prescribed 60-day review, the CNSC will then be able to deem the EIS final. When the EIS is deemed final, the CNSC will establish the Federal Commission Hearing date.
CNSC现在正在通过联邦-土著审查小组进行技术审查，经过规定的60天审查后，CNSC确认所有技术审查意见已得到解决后，将能够将EIS视为最终版。当EIS被视为最终版时，CNSC将确定联邦委员会听证会日期。
Leigh Curyer, NexGen's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The Company continues to successfully advance through the Federal EA process which formally initiated in April 2019. We look forward to the conclusion of the technical review process, for the Federal EIS to be deemed final, and the establishment of a Federal Commission Hearing date for the Rook I Project in order to deliver the significant generational benefits to the local Indigenous Nations, communities, the Province and Canada.
NexGen首席执行官Leigh Curyer评论道："公司继续成功推进自2019年4月正式启动的联邦环境评估流程。我们期待技术审查流程的结束，希望联邦EIS被视为最终版，并建立Rook I计划的联邦委员会听证会日期，以便为当地土著民族、社区、省份和加拿大带来重要的世代效益。
With the acceptance of the Federal licence application and receipt of Provincial EA approval in September and November 2023, respectively – and broad-based support and advocacy from our valued stakeholders and local Indigenous Nation partners and communities – the team is ready to immediately commence major construction of this generational project upon receipt of remaining approvals. The detailed engineering and procurement activities continue along the critical path as do the significant local training programs underway for the future staffing requirements. Rook I represents a crucial clean fuel source that is fully in line with Government of Canada's critical minerals strategy and desire to be a leader in the provision of clean energy solutions including nuclear power and NexGen will be instrumental in global efforts to bring diversified, reliable, carbon-free energy to the world."
随着联邦许可申请的接受和2023年9月和11月分别获得省级环境评估批准，以及来自我们的重要利益相关者和当地土著民族合作伙伴和社区的广泛支持和倡议，团队已准备好在获得剩余批准后立即开始这个有代表性的项目的主要建造工程。详细的工程和采购活动沿着关键路径继续进行，未来的员工需求正在进行重要的当地培训计划。Rook I代表了一个重要的清洁燃料来源，完全符合加拿大政府的重要矿物战略和成为清洁能源解决方案(包括核电)的领导者的愿望，而NexGen将在全球努力中发挥关键作用，为世界带来多样化的、可靠的、无碳能源。
