Today, November 14, 2018 – Fighting uranium mines

Weak demand and regional moratoriums have slowed uranium mining in recent years. But tribes, like the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, remain on the front lines, fighting efforts to revive and expand old, shuttered mines in the future. At an October hearing by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, Oglala Sioux Tribe representatives reiterated their contention the panel cannot legally issue a mining permit without proper resource studies with adequate tribal participation. The ASLB rejects that claim. The US Supreme Court is currently weighing the legality of a uranium mining ban in Virginia. That could have implications for mining moratoriums on tribal land elsewhere.
