ZIRCATEC VALUES 1- Meeting CUSTOMER commitments with integrity is our highest priority. 2- PEOPLE shall be treated with trust, respect and fairness 3- The QUALITY of everything we do must continually be improved. Theses are the values we live and work by each day. Zircatec's highly skilled and experienced engineering personnel have developed specialized manufacturing and inspection equipment and processes to carry out large scale production of CANDU fuel to exacting tolerances. Their outstanding success in developing technically superior processes, along with our operating personnel's commitment to quality, are evidenced by the outstanding performance of our fuel. Ziratec is the largest supplier of CANDU fuel in the world. Attaining this dominant position in the CANDU fuel market is due in no small part to the superior quality of the products we manufacture. Feedback from our customers indicates that our dedication to quality has made us the quality performance leader in our field. To date Zircatec has produced more than 700,000 fuel bundles for 28 CANDU power reactors. These fuel bundles have produced the energy equivalent of 450 million tons of coal and avoided the production of 500,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Over the last few years, about 60% of the electricity used in the Province of Ontario, Canada's industrial heartland, has been nuclear generated. Zircatec has provided nearly 60% of the fuel for these reactors. This means Zircatec's fuel has provided approximately one third of the electricity used in Ontario. In addition to domestic experience, Zircatec has produced CANDU type fuel for commercial power reactors, Zircatec also provides prototype fuel for irradiation testing of advanced fuel designs such as CANFLEX and Low Enriched Uranium (LEU). Zircatex is, and has been for many years, the only commercial fuel manufacturer in Canada with the ability to produce enriched fuel. Zircatecis licenced to process nuclear fuel with up to 20% enrichment. Zircatec has provided fuel for development or research in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, India, Pakistan, France, Taiwan and Japan. Zircatec also has experience as a supplier of nuclear grade fuel and UO2 pellets to the U.S. BWR/PWR market. QUALITY PROGRAM Zircatec recognized early that a successful Quality Assurance Program would be essential if products were to be routinely manufactured to exacting nuclear standards. Zircatec was a leader in the Canadian nuclear industry in the implementation of a Quality Assurance Program in a manufacturing environment. Today, our Quality Assurance Program is second to none and our outstanding and consistent product quality is a testament to its success. Zircatec's fuel manufacturing facility has a fully implemented Quality Assurance program meeting the requirements of CSA Z299.1. Our Quality Assurance program also meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and 10CFR50 Appendix B. For the manufacture of components that form part of the pressure boundary of the CANDU reactor, Zircatec maintains a Quality Assurance program that meets the requirements of CSA N285.0 and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III.
