AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY URANIUM MINING PROJECT

Uranium mining is conducted using the high-tech “Smart Mine” platform, equipped with sensors that monitor all parameters of the production and extraction process. If the slightest deviation in parameters is detected, the automation is triggered immediately, and all operations are halted until the detected anomalies are fully resolved.

The leaching solution used is very weak, with an acidity (pH) similar to red wine or lemon juice. The mining solution is continuously recycled in a closed loop to minimize water use, waste, and environmental impact. Its chemical composition is constant.

Scientific evidence should be the key factor in determining the commencement of the proposed Uranium One project at Leonardville rather than conflicting opinions. 

On 13 August, Rosatom’s sixth international Arctic expedition “Icebreaker of Knowledge” set sail from Murmansk.
