Nuclear scientist Interview Question:

Tell me can extraction be made safe?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Millions of tons of toxic waste is created at the start of the “nuclear chain” with uranium extraction producing radioactive rock, dust and water - resulting in contaminated water supplies and skyrocketing cancer, kidney and other deadly diseases in communities near uranium mines. The extraction jobs are some of the most dangerous anywhere, with workers regularly overexposed to radiation. Is the human and environmental cost of uranium extraction being properly included on the cost side of nuclear power?
