[ RadSafe ] Fwd: Possession of yellowcake

[Chris Alston]

Mr Boom

In general, I agree with you.  However, this case is not a good example of
such.  "Yellowcake" is the very definition of *refined* and *processed*
ore.  That is, it's ore-concentrate, the rest of the ore stays at the mill,
as "tailings".

Cheers
