Nuke Science (according to web sites): Nobody is going to get cancer from uranium mining.
The official Virginia Coal & Energy Commission study performed by SENES Consulting Group concluded that uranium mining in Virginia would cause absolutely no cancer. The risk was so negligible it was almost zero: http://www.idigumining.com/category/videos/
SENES Consulting Group: seems according to the web site work for nukes:
Radioactivity: SENES has carried out more than 1500 radiation-related projects, ranging from personal service efforts including the provision of individual expert support and advice or peer review, through to full-scale multi-disciplinary environment assessments and site remediation projects. Our clients have included uranium mining companies, uranium refineries, fuel fabrication facilities, nuclear power plants operators, numerous industrial clients, industry associations and federal and international agencies and regulators. These projects cover the entire nuclear fuel cycle from exploration and development of mining facilties to radioactive waste disposal. In addition, SENES has a broad experience with natural radioactive materials, from mining and processing through transport and waste management, both in Canada and internationally.
