Namibia's uranium mines are open pit and have extremely low ore grades (between 0.01% and 0.06% uranium in the ore) [1], leading to mining conditions significantly different from those encountered in many early uranium mining cohort studies on worker health. In this paper we provide a summary of the risks relating to radiation ...

Mining applications In the mining process, nuclear techniques are mainly used for recovery of uranium, coal, and oil. In uranium mining, the radioactivity of the rock is used to separate ore and waste rock and to determine the grade of the ore. In coal mining, it is important to know the thickness of the coal layer in tunnels to avoid mining ...

Uranium is a common element in the earth's crust, more abundant than gold, silver and mercury and found everywhere. Being chemically reactive, it is never found in its elemental form; most commonly it is bound to oxygen as uranium oxide, U 3 0 8. Mining can be cost effective wherever ore concentrations reach 0.02%.

For both traditional underground and open pit mining, the rocks may have only a few percent (normally <0.3%) uranium in them. The uranium then has to be removed from the rock and concentrated. The milling process involves crushing and pulverizing the rock into very fine fragments and adding water to create a slurry.

Those mining wastes are distinct from uranium mill tailings (UMT), which are the ore residues discharged to a waste pond after extraction of the uranium, typically by sulfuric acid leaching. Although 90-95% of the uranium in the ore is extracted, most of the uranium-decay-product activity remains with the UMT.

There are three natural isotopes of uranium — uranium-234 (U-234), uranium-235 (U-235) and uranium-238 (U-238). U-238 is the most common one, accounting for around 99 per cent of natural uranium found on earth. Most nuclear reactors use fuels containing U-235, however, natural uranium typically contains only 0.72 per …
