#uranium mine

"Hey, <friends name>. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, normally I could do that for you, but I'm in the middle of Wyoming, running down a uranium mine. Yeah, I'm trying to get a room for the night. Yeah, talk at you later."

Now that he sees the accelerating success of the Indivisible protests, he will play his ace: becoming a wartime president. This would make it far easier to grant himself emergency powers and shut down dissent in a way that will make the past week look mild.

I couldn't help thinking of Shcherbina when the "doctor" says it's the equivalent of an x-ray! And even if it is, x-rays don't tend to give off radon gas into the air for you to breathe in. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non smokers.

I think I've had more than my share of radon. Growing up in Cornwall which has three times the amount of background radiation than the rest of he UK, also living near to the abandoned South Teras uranium mine, now living in Czech Republic,which has some of the highest radon levels in Europe. I don't think here are any uranium mines near Prague though.

Uraninit-führendes Gangtrum, ca. 4 cm mächtig, mit Calcit, Hämatit und Pyrit. Die Ader setzte in devonischem Diabasgestein auf und war sehr stark radioaktiv. Das Erscheinungsbild deutete klar auf hydrothermale Entstehung hin. Diese Art der Uranvererzung war im Grubenfeld Reust nur selten anzutreffen.

Fundort: Ronneburg in Thüringen, SDAG Wismut, Uran-Bergwerk Reust, Schacht 374, 300m - Sohle, Strecke 1002-1

Fundzeitpunkt: März 1977

Uraninite-leading gangrene, about 4 cm thick, with calcite, hematite and pyrite. The vein was deposited in Devonian diabase rock and was very radioactive. The appearance clearly indicated hydrothermal formation. This type of uranium mineralization was rare in the Reust pit.

Location: Ronneburg in Thuringia, SDAG Wismut, uranium mine Reust, shaft 374, 300m - sole, Strecke 1002-1

Uranpechblende (mit hohem Tongehalt) als Füllung einer Kluft im sogenannten Lederschiefer, ein Tonschiefer aus dem oberen Ordovizium. Das Schiefergestein ist im Bereich der Uranerzfüllung gebleicht und etwas hämatitisiert. Die abgebildete Erzstufe ist ein typischer Beleg für die reicheren Erze (betriebsintern als Sorte 1 bezeichnet) im Südfeld des Uranerzbergwerkes Reust der SDAG Wismut bei Ronneburg in Thüringen.

Fundort: Uranbergwerk Reust, 345m-Sohle, Block 1133, Überhauen 1133-11/1; 3. Scheibe (ca. 10m über der Sohle); Fundzeitpunkt: 1980

Uranium pitch (with high clay content) as filling of a cleft in so-called leather shale, a clay shale from the upper Ordovician. The shale is bleached in the area of ​​uranium filling and somewhat hematitized. The illustrated ore stage is a typical example of the richer ores (in-house designated as variety 1) in the southern part of the uranium ore mine Reust of the SDAG Wismut near Ronneburg in Thuringia.

Location: Reust uranium mine, 345m-sole, block 1133, over-cutting 1133-11/1; 3rd disc (about 10m above the sole); Date of discovery: 1980

A uranium mine in southern Utah is the first project to be approved under President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration streamlining the development of energy infrastructure.  Owned and operated by the Canadian company Anfield Energy, the Velvet-Wood uranium project received a green light on Friday under the federal government’s new, 14-day environmental review process for energy…
