Voices: Uranium mining poses risks

[trs]

I am curious to know what qualifications you have to comment on ISL? The method is highly engineered and only done in areas that have geologic conditions that prevent groundwater contamination. ISL is constantly monitored for leakage to prevent environmental impact and loss of very expensive leaching fluid. They are mining uranium, the same material that produces radon gas into homes which is the second leading cause of lung cancer. The ISL process is proven and is creating far less environmental risk then what is there naturally. Please try and educate yourself on this process or trust in the geologists and engineers who are highly educated and monitor this process.
