These solutions, also known as acid mine drainage, are caused by the oxidation and dissolution of sulfide-bearing wastes, which produces sulfuric acid.

If the fundamental principle guiding management is only permanent disposal, then options for waste management will be very limited since all management solutions must meet the safety and environmental standards set out by regulatory authorities. For example, considerations of such factors as volume, the disruption which removal might cause, costs and local preferences may make long-term management in situ a practical option for some of the existing wastes. The Task Force feels the uranium mine and mill tailings and the phosphogypsum wastes are best dealt with in this manner and that in situ management should at least be considered for several other waste deposits... 2, record 9, English, - in%20situ%20management

The wastes tend to be sludges and residues containing calcium sulfate or carbonate(limed raffinate), calcium fluoride, magnesium trash, discarded equipment and decommissioning waste is also generated. 1, record 10, English, - uranium%20refining%20waste

Extraction de l'uranium. [...] Après un tri radiométrique des roches extraites, les principales étapes du traitement sont une préparation mécanique (concassage, broyage), une mise en solution de l'uranium par attaque acide [...] ou basique [...]. La pulpe sortant de cette attaque subit une séparation solide-liquide qui fournit une liqueur contenant l'uranium qu'on purifie [...] puis dont on fait précipiter l'uranium essentiellement sous forme d'uranate. Au terme de ces traitements conduits sur le lieu d'extraction, on obtient des concentrés à 60-70 % d'uranium. Ces concentrés subissent ensuite un raffinage qui comprend deux phases, la purification et l'élaboration finale, exécutées dans une usine souvent éloignée du centre minier. 2, record 10, French, - d%C3%A9chet%20de%20raffinage%20d%27uranium

Low-level radioactive wastes can exist in solid liquid or gaseous form. Any solid waste may give off a radioactive gas, as in the case of Radium 226 which gives off Radon 222 when it undergoes alpha decay. Water flowing through a solid waste may leach out soluble radioactive material(e. g., the acid leachates of some uranium mine tailings). As well, solid fine particulates of radioactive waste may take the form of a dust and be carried away on the wind, as in the case in the erosion of mine tailings. Equally, non-radioactive dust particles in the atmosphere can be contaminated with radon daughters as a result of electrostatic attraction. Furthermore, fine solid or liquid radioactive wastes can also take the form of aerosols that, once airborne, may be widely scattered. 1, record 11, English, - solid%20fine%20particulates
