Comment: Somewhat of a statement for the problems of uranium mining! Demand our state to ban uranium mining and milling now, it has never, never been mined or milled safely anywhere in the world. Most studies are done by Pro-Nuclear scientists paid for by the Nuclear industry or donations given by nuclear energy people!
Uranium mining
Uranium mining, milling and waste disposal of generated wastes poses health and environmental problems for
Virginians.
If these uranium mining activities are permitted in Virginia, VML is concerned that radiation and
other pollutants from mill tailings may occur, downstream water supplies may be contaminated, water supplies near uranium mines may disappear or be severely reduced, and the health and safety of uranium miners might be jeopardized.
VML supports the current moratorium on the mining and milling of uranium in Virginia until evidence demonstrates that it is safe for the environment and health of citizens.
Any studies must include, but not be limited to, modeling and simulation studies that show the consequences
of probable maximum precipitation storms on containment cells.
