AW: AW: [Fwd: [Know_Nukes] (NYT) Navajo Miners Battle a Deadly Legacy of Yell...
Very good information about everything concerning uranium can
be found at http://www.antenna.nl/wise/uranium.
It is part of an obviously antinuclear site, but they have an excellent
collection of legislation, news, facts and bring a lot of topics which seem
to me very reasonable. Anyway it is of a refreshing clearness of language
and anybody will enjoy it, when checking before the sites of Greenpeace and
similar groups. It is very late in Austria, so I have not checked the topics
raised on Radsafe concerning uranium mining.
Several
points:
Solution mining is now done instead of "hard rock"
mining, but mining is still done.
You are quite right about
yellowcake. It is produced from uranium ore at Portsmouth, OH (and
maybe at Oak ridge) but not anywhere near the Navajo
reservation.
Moab actually sits very near Indian lands.
It is the Ute
tribe, so it is not Navajo land.
It is sort of in the middle of Canyonlands
Nationalo Park.
I
respectfully disagree. Canyonlands National Park is close to Moab, as is
Arches National Park. The southeastern part of Utah, between the borders to
Arizona and Colorado, Lake Powell, the Green river and road # 70 (it might
be an interstate) is called Utah's
Canyonlands.
