Environmental and Health Consequences of Uranium Mining
The long-term effects of nuclear energy on the environment and human health must carefully be considered, however. As the demand for uranium grows, so too do the hazards associated with uranium mining. Do the benefits of nuclear energy outweigh the risks of air and water pollution, and consequent illness, destroyed ecosystems, and injured wildlife?

Where Does Uranium Come From?-Nuclear Energy Institute
Steps are cut into the exposed ore body to facilitate ore removal by large loaders and dump trucks. Ore mined from open-pit and underground mines travels to a conventional mill, where it is crushed, ground and leached to dissolve the uranium. Most of the ore is barren rock or other minerals that are not dissolved in the process.
