A summary on you tube: ” Yellow Cradle to Grave (Uranium Mining Fallout } ”
Published on Jan 7, 2016
The nuclear industry is a many-headed toxic beast – nuclear power and nuclear weapons are just the most visible ones. Mining, milling, processing, reprocessing, manufacturing, and transporting nuclear materials are some other heads of the beast that are less visible. All are desecrating Mother Earth and killing her peoples. It’s time to deal with the initial stage of this problem. We can begin by cleaning up the abandoned uranium mines and placing a National Environmental Security Moratorium on all uranium extraction. https://www.popularresistance.org/the… USA Cows Fed Copper To Hide Radiated Gray Spots ☠ Lake By Uranium Mine Melts Steel!

Irresponsible corporations and negligent government agencies have abandoned more than 10,000 toxic uranium mines throughout the US. These hazardous mines poison our air, land and water and harm public health. Currently no laws require cleanup of these dangerous sites. A new campaign, Clean Up The Mines!, aims for remediation of these mines through federal legislation and action, and public education. Abandoned Uranium Mines (AUMs) The Environmental Protection Agency and US Geological Survey document over 10,000 abandoned uranium mines in the US, most in 15 western states on public, private, and tribal lands. Over 4,200 of these mines produced uranium that was sold to the US Atomic Energy Commission for use in nuclear weapons from the 1940s through the 1970s. Starting in the 1960s, much of the mining was done to provide fuel for nuclear power plants. There are several AUMs in and near the Grand Canyon, 169 of them within 40 miles of Mt. Rushmore, and eight right on the edge of Grand Teton / Yellowstone National Parks. One in seven (10 million) people in the western US lives within 50 miles of an AUM.

AUM hazards and contamination pathways. Physical hazards of AUMs come from unmarked, unprotected mine entrances, cliffs, falling rocks, and collapsing buildings and equipment. Wind picks up radioactive dust from rock piles and blows it for miles people breathe fine particles into their lungs, resulting in much higher levels of lung cancer near AUMs. People carry the radioactive dust, dirt, and mud around on their clothes and shoes, spreading the contamination to their homes and families.
One of the decay elements of uranium is radon gas. It seeps up through the ground in many areas around mine sites where people and animals breathe it in. Exposure to radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Water picks up radiation in a variety of ways – rain washes radioactive dust from the air and rocks and carries it into streams and rivers. Surface and underground water dissolve uranium from rock and dust. This is particularly true of uranium that has been exposed to oxygen, which changes it from UIV to UVI, which is more soluble in water. (This is the principle used in ‘In Situ Leaching’, similar to fracking techniques, the method most commonly used now.) The result is polluted rivers, lakes, and aquifers, with no safe available drinking water for thousands of communities.

” HOT SPRINGS – On Monday, March 6, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it issued two draft permits and an “aquifer exemption” for the Dewey Burdock in-situ uranium mining project.
EPA says it is seeking public comment on these permits and the exemption, and will conduct “information sessions,” combined with public hearings, on several dates between April 28 and May 11 (see below for dates and times). EPA will also accept public comments on the draft permits and a proposed aquifer exemption through May 19. “

About the Free Benefit Concert , please see concert speaker, Dr. Don Kelley’s comments~~~ { “It is critical that everyone who is against this mine gets involved in the decision-making process. Your voice matters. Your time matters. Your money matters,” Jarding said in announcing the concert. “The water cannot speak for itself –– we must speak for the water.”
The EPA is taking comments until April 27 on the proposed rule on groundwater protection standards for uranium in situ leach mining.
Renewable energy sources are an alternative to nuclear power, which fuels the demand for uranium mining, according to concert speaker Dr. Don Kelley.
“When told that uranium mining and nuclear power plants are essential for the transition away from fossil fuels, remember that this belief is heavily promoted by big mining and energy interests,” Kelley said.
“Realistic studies are showing that with commercially available renewable-energy technologies, 80-100 percent of U.S. electricity needs can be met by 2050,” Kelley said.
Kelley is a member of the South Dakota State Medical Association, whose governing council voted unanimously to oppose Black Hills uranium mining. Among its reasons:
• The “real possibility of underground water-supply contamination with radionuclides and other heavy metals exists” due to potential communication between the mined Inyan Kara aquifer and other aquifers.
• Records of other ISL uranium mines detailing “frequent unanticipated consequences due to leaks and excursions of mining fluids.”
• The acceptance by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission that “the restoration of an ISL-mined aquifer to pre-mining water quality is … impossibility.”
For renewables to outpace nuclear energy, “what’s needed is grassroots activism and political leadership,” Kelley said.
The concert begins at 1 p.m. with original folk music from the heart of the Black Hills by singer-songwriter and music critic Steve Thorpe.
The Hill City Slickers will offer acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies, performing selections from their repertoire of folk, bluegrass, and western music, as well as gospel, original compositions, and favorites from the 50s and 60s.
James Van Nuys is set to play numbers from a broad variety of original and traditional folk, blues, Irish and ragtime tunes that have earned him recognition as the Black Hills’ premier guitar finger-picker.
