uranium mines
Nuclear ore sources
Uranium mines are excavation sites where uranium ore is extracted from the earth.
The ore is processed to produce uranium for nuclear power generation and weapons.
Mining methods include open-pit, underground, and in-situ leaching, where solutions dissolve uranium from rock formations.
The town's economy collapsed when the uranium mines closed.
