Computerized “Smart Mine” Management System and an Extensive Monitoring Network

  • 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.
  • These sensors and gauges continuously assess the level and composition of solutions in real-time, determining the optimal parameters for the production cycle.
  • The protection system includes an extensive network of monitoring wells for water sampling and continuous verification of its safe composition.
