Uranium Mining Overview. In the last 60 years uranium has become one of the worlds most important energy minerals. It is used almost entirely for making electricity though a small proportion is used for the important task of producing medical isotopes
Uranium mining risks. Risks common to uranium mining are centred on radiation. Countries such as Australia and Canada have really clamped down on uranium mining and how they deal with the radioactive impact of the material. Everyone is exposed to radiation so the new rules and regulations around uranium mining are based on keeping overexposure

Uranium Mining and Enrichment. Uranium is a radioactive element that occurs naturally in the earths surface. Uranium is used as a fuel for nuclear reactors. Uranium-bearing ores are mined and the uranium is processed to make reactor fuel. In nature uranium atoms exist in several forms called isotopes - primarily uranium-238 or U-238 and
