Technical rehabilitation options for former mining and milling facilities of Wismut GMBH

Creators

  • 1. Wismut GmbH, Chemnitz (Germany)

Description

The predecessor company of Wismut GmbH had mined uranium deposits of five different types which varied in their geological settings and sizes. Milling sites also had different geological environments. In contrast to U.S. practice to apply general rehabilitation standards not on a site-specific basis, the German government has opted for rehabilitation targets following site-specific assessment and optimization procedures which take into account the relevant geological and hydrological situation, the mining history and the technologies used. 8 figs, 2 tabs
