The amount of marketable copper produced is small compared to the original material mined. Several hundred metric tons of ore must be handled for each metric ton of copper metal produced, thus generating large waste quantities. For example: In-situ leaching can transport uranium and thorium into groundwater or surface water at the processing site.

Uranium is a naturally-occurring radioactive element that has been mined and used for its chemical properties for more than a thousand years. It is now primarily used as fuel for nuclear reactors that make electricity. Uranium can be recovered in two ways: by conventional mining of the rock (ore), or by using strong chemicals to dissolve uranium from the rock that is …

The vast majority of nuclear power reactors use the isotope uranium-235 as fuel; however, it only makes up 0.7% of the natural uranium mined and must therefore be increased through a process called enrichment. This increases the uranium-235 concentration from 0.7% to between 3% and 5%, which is the level used in most reactors.

Recycling used nuclear fuel could produce hundreds of years of energy from just the uranium we've already mined, all of it carbon-free. Problems with older technology put a halt to recycling used nuclear fuel in the United States, but new techniques developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's ( DOE ) Argonne National ...

Uranium is a silvery-gray metallic weakly radioactive chemical element.It has the chemical symbol U and atomic number 92. The most common isotopes in natural uranium are 238 U (99.27%) and 235 U (0.72%). All uranium isotopes present in natural uranium are radioactive and fissionable, and 235 U is fissile (will support a neutron-mediated chain reaction). …

Most uranium deposits occur in small quantities, which miners gather, refine and purify. Once gathered, the uranium is brought together and compounded into rods. The rods are then submerged into tanks of water. When it reaches critical mass, uranium begins to break down and release energy, which heats the water it is immersed in.

Uranium recovery involves one of the following extraction processes. In a conventional uranium mine and mill, uranium ore is extracted from the Earth, typically through deep underground shafts or shallow open pits. The ore is transported to a mill, where it is crushed and undergoes a chemical process to remove the uranium.

These unit trains allow coal from western mines to be shipped economically to power plants across the country. Previously, western coal could be mined more cheaply than eastern coal, but it had farther to travel to get to buyers and so the shipping cost made it less competitive. U.S. coal production peaked at 1.2 billion tons in 2008.

Bulgaria shut down its facilities for environmental reasons in 1992; terrains were recultivated but recently, there has been certain interest in resuming activities. Industrial mining first started in 1938 and was resumed after 1944 by a joint Soviet–Bulgarian mining company, reorganized in 1956 into the Redki Metali (Rare Metals) government-owned concern. At its peak, it had 13,000 employees, operated 48 uranium mines and two milling plants at Buhovo outside Sofia and Eles…
