Is Canada Slowing Efforts to Stop Sale of Military Grade Uranium?

Globe and Mail reported Canada and other governments are debating whether or not Nordion, Inc. (TSX:NDN,NYSE:NDZ) is slowing attempts to eliminate highly enriched uranium from world markets.

As quoted in the market news:

Ottawa-based Nordion Inc. is the world’s biggest producer of medical isotopes, the life-saving radioactive tools used to diagnose and treat cancer and other diseases. But it relies on materials drawn from highly enriched uranium – and has cut a 10-year deal to get supplies from Russia.

That has a coalition of American arms-control advocates and non-proliferation experts, and some members of the U.S. Congress, complaining that Canada is slowing efforts to ensure bomb-grade uranium does not fall into terrorists’ hands.
