AbstractAbstract
[en] In January 1979, a commission was appointed to inquire into the adequacy of existing measures to provide protection in all aspects of uranium mining in the province of British Columbia. When the provincial government decided in February 1980 that no uranium mining would be allowed for seven years, the commission ended its hearings and wrote its final report. The commissioners concluded that future energy requirements may well make necessary the use of all known uranium resources. If it were necessary to exploit British Columbia's uranium deposits the commissioners believe that it could be done in such a way that the work force would be adequately protected and the tailings could be safely disposed of. They recommend further research in the areas of waste disposal, radiation exposure standards, health effects of radiation of natural and human origin, and occupational health and safety for miners. The first volume of their report contains a discussion of the findings; v. 2 consists of a list of the holdings of the Commission's library; and v. 3 is an index to the submissions presented to the Commission
