Ranger uranium waste water treatment plan attacked

Yahoo! News Australia | July 5, 2011 | 1:55 am Energy Australia Uranium 

An environmental engineer says Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) should not have reopened its uranium mine within Kakadu National Park last month without committing to a waste water treatment plan.

The company had to stop processing uranium ore for five months during the Northern Territory wet season because its radioactive tailings dam got too close to capacity.
