The activity generating the emissions is uranium fuel element production, enriched 3.8%, for light water reactor. The reference product is uranium, enriched 3.8%, in fuel element for light water reactor. Uranium, enriched 3.8%, in fuel element for light water reactor represents the enriching of uranium dioxide fuel for light water nuclear reactors (PWR and BWR), with no MOX (mixed oxides), no RepU (reprocessed fuel) and no HEU (highly enriched uranium from warheads) fuel elements.  The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/4412/documentation.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
