Uranium mining is known to have seriously negative effects on the people who live in the nearby communities as well as those who worked in the mines, but its effects aren''t necessarily immediate as cancers and other diseases can take awhile to develop.
Each mining method poses unique environmental consequences. Open-Pit Mining In open-pit mining, rocks and soil are removed to expose and access the underlying uranium ore. These mines span hundreds to thousands of acres, as seen in Fig. 1. [4]
Commissioning the plant Investigations into selecting a suitable site for the treatment of the Radium Hill ore commenced in 1952. Construction of the Port Pirie uranium treatment plant was completed in August 1955. The chemical treatment plant at Port Pirie
· In 2013, Jordan and Russia agreed on building a $10 billion nuclear power plant, leading to protests from activists, tribes, MPs and scientists in the country. Promises of high foreign investments drive forward Jordan''s uranium mining and nuclear plans.
World Uranium Mining - World Nuclear Association
The mine soils had a median uranium concentration of 56.0 mg kg-1 (range: MDL to 696) while the plant samples had concentrations of 3.7 mg kg-1 (range: MDL to 20.0). The results showed uranium bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were between 0.051 and 0.234 with the longer-living, woody species having higher concentrations than short-lived herbaceous species.
