Oseèná-Kotel uranium deposit (Liberecko, North Bohemia)


On Dec. 30, 2007, several hundred people held a demonstration at Oseèná against the securing of the Oseèná-Kotel uranium deposit for future mining. (ÈTK Dec. 30, 2007)

State-owned company Diamo s.p. is attempting to secure the Oseèná-Kotel uranium deposit for future open-pit mining. The deposit is located near the former Hamr uranium mine and Stráž uranium mill in North Bohemia. The surrounding communities are opposed to this move, since they are in the process of transforming the area into a recreational area and they are still dealing with the legacy of the large-scale uranium mining carried out during the Cold War era.
If the Environmental Ministry acknowledges the deposit as a "protected deposit", Diamo could start mining after conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment process. (Calla Nov./Dec. 2007
