History of U.S. Uranium Industry

Did not put in Trivia and History because it seemed topical. My opinion.

This excerpt helps define resistance to mining today.

"From Figure 2, we can determine that the domestic industry produced 731,958,000 pounds of uranium concentrate from 1947 through 1981 out of a total of 980,698,000 pounds produced between 1947 and 2022. In other words, roughly 75% of domestic uranium mining to date occurred in a time period with effectively no environmental safeguards by modern-day standards. So it is no wonder that the public sentiment regarding the modern uranium industry is difficult to detach from the pervasive health and environmental impacts of the industry of over 40 years ago."
