Uranium dust creates a problem

In excess of the last 2 1/2 years the dust problem in uranium that would accompany the opening of an open-pit uranium mine in Pittsylvania County. The low-level radioactive dust that would appear with the blasting and the shadowing piles. Low-level radiation accumulates in the body. Moreover the leakage of radioactive water comes from the holding ponds.

On Sept. 25, 2009, Australian Broadcasting Corp. News explains about the dust problem that is now happening in South Australia. From the area of and about the Olympic Dam Uranium Mine Site, dust is blowing for several hundreds of miles. There is some low-level radioactive substance in this dust.

On March 15, 2009, Northwest Territory Government (Australia) spokes to the mining company ERA regarding the contaminated water trickle from the Ranger Uranium Mine's tailing pond. Now at the Ranger Mine are discussion on 100,000 liters a day. This comes to about 25,000 gallons of contaminated water a day. These are mainly new mines with the latest technology.

This is not something from the earlier period, this is today's technology and today's problem. So, this is what happening elsewhere and stop "our" mine before it happens here.
