Uranium MiningUranium MinesNuclear Power
Uranium mining and milling is the starting process for all nuclear fuel cycles. In this process uranium ore is extracted from the Earth s crust similarly as for mining of copper zinc and other metals. Uranium is often found with copper phosphates and other minerals thus it is often a co-product of other mining operations.

Uranium tailingsWikipedia
Uranium tailings are a waste byproduct of uranium mining. In mining raw uranium ore is brought to the surface and crushed into a fine sand. The valuable uranium-bearing minerals are then removed via heap leaching with the use of acids or bases and the remaining radioactive sludge called "uranium tailings" is stored in huge impoundments.
