Comments: This is real underground uranium mining in the US, not great, uranium dust all over the worker's face, Geiger Counter very high, very dangerous, noisy, dark, shows them dumping the ore on the ground outside, Keep the Uranium Mining Ban in VA, we do not want our children to grow up to be Uranium Miners, who in their right minds wants u mining to happen besides the greedy investors.....Keep the Ban
Comments: Uranium mines are sold very often, so the local/Canadian uranium mining company will be sold numerous times, this make it hard for people to sue the companies and makes it hard on who pays for the cleanup. One way to prevent un is to demand VA leaders' to keep the Ban on Uranium mining!

Navajo Group Fights Aquifer Mine
The U.S. hasn't built a new nuclear power generating station in decades. A company want to change that record in a town of 973 in Utah.
Former uranium mine worker and Navajo leader, Larry J. King (pictured), has gathered 10,000+ signatures and growing on a petition to stop new uranium mines that will contaminate Navajo drinking water supplies. Hydro Resources requested a permit 23 years ago to mine from an aquifer at four sites in two New Mexico towns: Church Rock and neighboring Crownpoint. It has since received permits from the EPA, the NRC and the state. The Easterm Navajo Dine Against Uranium Mining has been fighting the plan since 1994. The site is on private land but within the Navajo community. The Navajo Nation has banned uranium mining on its own lands. Mining from the aquifer for uranium will pollute the water under the two towns and make it undrinkable. Chuch Rock does not use the aquifer currently but views it as a future water source. Read more and please sign the petition to the Environmental Protection Agency which is revisiting its decision to grant Hydro Resources a permit.
