Jan 6 (Reuters) - Cameco Corp  CCO.TO  said on Thursday it
could resume production of roughly 24 million pounds of uranium
annually in North America if needed by the global market due to
the political turmoil https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/troops-protesters-clash-almaty-main-square-kazakhstan-shots-heard-2022-01-06
 in Kazakhstan. 
    The company said in an emailed statement it was not clear
how quickly it would take to resume the output, but its five
mothballed mines in Canada and the United States are in good
condition.
    Saskatchewan-based Cameco added it has not yet been able to
discuss the status of its Kazakhstan operations with joint
venture partner https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/worlds-biggest-uranium-miner-says-unaffected-by-kazakh-turmoil-2022-01-06
