Recognized but displaced: Uranium mill tailings and the sustainability accounting of nuclear energy

Nuclear-energy sustainability is usually debated through reactor performance, carbon intensity, fuel availability, operational safety and spent-fuel disposal. Less visible are the front-end residues generated by uranium production, especially uranium mill tailings (UMT), likely t...

Depleted uranium final disposal: why classification does not settle long-term safety for large inventories

Depleted uranium (DU) sits at the intersection of radioactive-waste management, resource policy and environmental radioactivity. Its initial specific activity is low, and it may be retained as a potential resource or managed within low-level, low-activity or material-management c...
