The Trump administration asked Congress this week for $1.5 billion over 10 years to create a new national stockpile of U.S.-mined uranium, saying that propping up U.S. uranium production in the face of cheaper imports is a matter of vital energy security. Approval is far from certain in a highly partisan Congress.

WildHorse signs cooperation agreement for restart of uranium mining in Hungary. On August 6, 2008, WildHorse Energy Ltd announced that it has signed an exclusive Cooperation Agreement with Mecsekérc, a state owned privatised company, with the aim of restarting uranium mining in the Mecsek Hills, in southern Hungary.

Background Uranium mining and processing are an ancient occupation, recognized as being grueling and accountable for injury and disease. Uranium (U) is a radioactive heavy metal used in many industrial applications. It increases the micronuclei frequencies as well as chromosomal aberration and sister chromatid exchange in peripheral blood lymphocytes. …

Uranium producers overcome these challenges to mine very high-grade deposits by developing innovative ground freezing techniques and mechanized, "non-entry" underground-mining methods. For lower-grade deposits, more traditional open-pit and underground mining methods are used. Safety is complicated by the presence of radioactive radon gas.

Open Pit Mining. Open pit mining, also known as strip mining, is the removal of surficial soils and uneconomic rock to get at the ore below. Ore grades are normally less than 0.5%. This is type of mining is only possible if the uranium …

The book presents the results from the Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology Conference (UMH VI) held in September 2011, in Freiberg, Germany. The following subjects are dealt with in depth: uranium mining, phosphate mining and uranium recovery. Cleaning up technologies for water and soil are also discussed at length.

G. Linsley, in Nuclear Fuel Cycle Science and Engineering, 2012 2.5.1 Uranium mining and milling. The hazards to workers in uranium mines are due mainly to the presence of radon gas (Rn-222) and its short lived progeny (Po-218, Pb-214, Bi-214 and Po-214). Radon gas is inert but its daughter nuclides become attached to particles in the air and can deposit in the lungs of …

Abstract. Uranium has been mined since about 1830 as a glass and glaze colorant, but its exploitation began in earnest in the 1940s, initially for military purposes but then from the mid-1950s for fuel for nuclear power plants. Mining from underground and open cut mines has dominated production. Ore grades have ranged from over 15% to less than ...

Uranium mining is the first step in the generation of both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Nuclear power plants produce routine radioactive emissions in air and water, produce nuclear waste, and create conditions for disasters similar to Chernobyl and Fukushima. Physicians should be concerned about the health effects of the uranium continuum.
