This report summarizes the current state of the art of uranium mill tailings disposal and the results from an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on technologies and strategies for their long term stabilization. The aim of the CRP was to develop conceptual and technical solutions that render tailings more inert over prolonged time spans, that render impounded materials and engineered structures stable over prolonged time spans, that minimize the need for active maintenance, and that are technically and economically feasible. The emphasis was on solutions that can be applied retrospectively, i.e. in a restoration/remediation context. It was recognized, however, that these objectives cannot be met by engineering design only, but must also involve appropriate management and planning procedures.Uranium mines and miningUranium mines and miningEnvironmental aspectsUranium mines and mining.Uranium mines and miningEnvironmental aspects.398.2093702Agency International Atomic Energy1351396MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006855203321Long Term Stabilization of Uranium Mill Tailings, The4387666UNINA
