A roughly 230-year supply at today's consumption rate in total.  Regardless of how uranium is removed from rock, the extraction process creates radioactive wastes. If not managed properly, mining waste and mill tailings can contaminate the environment. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365306230 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365310784 Efficient extraction of uranium and all other possible co-products vastly reduces the amounts of waste, so is not only economically more viable but also environmentally more sustainable. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365310784 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365311805 co products vastly reduces the amounts of waste. so is not only economically more viable but also environment.]]> 2021-03-29 18:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365311805 laylaj1248 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365312585 We can find different ways to do uranium mining instead of pulling it from a rock lol]]> 2021-03-29 18:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365312585 cady_staggs https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365317738

These tailings pose serious environmental and health risks in the form of Radon emission, windblown dust dispersal and leaching of contaminants including heavy metals and arsenic into the water. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365331837 laylaj1248 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365334558 Uranium mining uses fossil fuels and plants uses  less uranium to create electricity than is required if using coal, natural gas or oil.]]> 2021-03-29 18:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365334558 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365334588 uranium mining is not safe because it gives gamma radiation when it starts to decay ]]> 2021-03-29 18:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365334588 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365338384 temaury @14:29]]> 2021-03-29 18:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365338384 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365340627 Terrance Reeves-  No uranium is not safe and can be harmful to your health although uranium is radioactive, it is not particularly rare. It is widely spread throughout the environment and so it is impossible to avoid uranium. Uranium can be found naturally in the environment in very small amounts in rocks, soil, air and water. Humans add uranium metals and compounds, because they are released during mining and milling processes.]]> 2021-03-29 18:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365340627 s9118918 https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365351481 no it’s not safe because reduces the amounts of waste, so is not only economically more viable but also environmentally more sustainable . ]]> 2021-03-29 18:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cady_staggs/oswrdzcja2qpgnx9/wish/1365351481
