During the compilation of the National Park Service (NPS) inventory of abandoned mineral lands (AML), park managers in the Colorado Plateau physiographic province raised concern over the issue of radiation at abandoned uranium mine and mill sites. The Col...
There are no fully reclaimed uranium mill or mine waste dumps in the U.S., despite the passage of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978. The Act stated the findings and purposes of Congress as to uranium mill tailings hazards, defined a remedial action ...

Inactive uranium mill tailings were surveyed in the Province of Ontario to describe their surface characteristics, identify naturally invading biota, and determine essential chemical and physical parameters associated with the tailings. Inactive tailings ...
This document assesses a joint remedial action proposed by the US Department of Energy Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project and the State of Wyoming Abandoned Mine Lands Program. The proposed action would consist of stabilizing uranium mill taili...
This report contains site inspection concerns and recommendations relating to the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project to clean up uranium mill tailings and other surface contamination at an abandoned uranium mill site in Gunnison, ...
Semi-aquatic and terrestrial areas on abandoned or inactive uranium mill tailings in Ontario were studied in order to identify the growth characteristics of the naturally invading species dominating these areas. Semi-aquatic areas of tailings sites have b...
This two-volume set presents the papers given at the 1978 Uranium Mill Tailings Management Symposium. The main objective of the symposium was to determine how to provide tailings management at minimum cost and with minimum environmental impact. Topics considered at the symposium included innovations and alternatives (e.g. a milling ...

Evaluation of radiological risk of uranium milling is based on identification and quantification of sources of release and consideration of dynamic coupling among the meteorological, physiographical, hydrological environments and the affected individuals. Dispersion pathways of radionuclides are through air, soil, and water, each demanding locally tailored ...
This document assesses a joint remedial action proposed by the US Department of Energy Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project and the State of Wyoming Abandoned Mine Lands Program. The proposed action would consist of stabilizing uranium mill tailings and other associated contaminated ...
Mountain States Research and Development was contracted on March 1, 1981 to make an economic evaluation study at each of 12 abandoned uranium mill tailings sites in the western states. The objective of this work was to obtain the data necessary at each si...
Uranium contamination of groundwaters and surface waters near abandoned mill tailings piles is a serious concern in many areas of the western United States. Uranium usually exists in either the U(IV) or the U(VI) oxidation state. U(VI) is soluble in water...
