Why has this uranium debate become such a political hot potato? given all the available information out there - I'm still hoping, common sense will prevail in the final outcome of this ongoing debate.
"In 2014 the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency published a 140-page report: Managing Environmental and Health Impacts of Uranium Mining. “Uranium mining and milling has evolved significantly over the years. By comparing currently leading approaches with outdated practices, this report demonstrates how uranium mining can be conducted in a way that protects workers, the public and the environment. Innovative, modern mining practices combined with strictly-enforced regulatory standards are geared towards avoiding past mistakes committed primarily during the early history of the industry when maximising uranium production was the principal operating consideration.”
