Zambia has enacted a law for mining, storage and export of uranium which bars the diversion of the mineral for use in making nuclear weapons or devices, mines minister Kalombo Mwansa said on Monday. Mwansa said he had signed a law to pave the way for uranium mining in the country following the discovery of huge uranium deposits in several parts of the mineral-rich southern Africa country.

An Alice Springs environment group say the Northern Territory Government has ignored community opposition to uranium exploration south of the town. The Government has granted a mining joint venture an exploration licence for the Angela and Pamela deposits 25 kilometres from the town. The companies plan to begin drilling next year once they get the necessary sacred sites and environmental approvals. But Natalie Wasley, from the Arid Lands Environment Centre, says the Government should have blocked the application on behalf of the community.

The mining of uranium has long been a controversial public issue, and a renewed debate has emerged on the potential for nuclear power to help mitigate against climate change. The central thesis of pro-nuclear advocates is the lower carbon intensity of nuclear energy compared to fossil fuels, although there remains very little detailed analysis of the true carbon costs of nuclear energy. In this paper, we compile and analyze a range of data on uranium mining and milling, including uranium resources as well as sustainability metrics such as energy and water consumption and carbon emissions with respect to uranium productionsarguably the first time for modern projects.

The Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe are tired of investigations of the Tuba City Open Dump. They want it cleaned up. Studies since 1999 have indicated the presence of uranium and other metals in the dump and shallow groundwater exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards. The tribes have repeatedly indicated that clean closure — or excavation, removal and off-site disposal of all buried wastes — is the only acceptable option to prevent future contamination.

Environmental groups who sued the U.S. Forest Service to force full environmental reviews of a uranium exploration project near the Grand Canyon say the government has agreed to do the studies. A federal judge in Phoenix had barred VANE Minerals Group from drilling 39 test holes at seven sites on the Kaibab National Forest in April. U.S. District Judge Mary Murguia's order did not permanently stop the exploration, but she indicated that the environmental groups were likely to prevail after a full hearing.
