Investigate how uranium
is extracted from the
ground and processed.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Examine the history of uranium mining in Saskatchewan. |
| (b) | Compare the types of uranium mines (e.g., remote-control raise boring, long hole stoping, jet bore, in situ recovery and open pit). |
| (c) | Explain the financial feasibility (e.g., low quality ore) and geological challenges of establishing a uranium mine. |
| (d) | Investigate the layout (e.g., size of the mine and location of facilities), processes (e.g., transportation of ore, freeze walls underground, long and short hole mining and jet bore mining) and procedures (e.g., mine safety and monitoring radiation exposure) of one type of uranium mine. |
| (e) | Describe the challenges created by uranium mines being remotely located. |
| (f) | Explore the development of equipment and processes in uranium mining. |
| (g) | Assess the public perception of the level of radiation exposure in uranium mining. |
| (h) | Discuss the steps taken to mitigate radiation risks to keep employees, local communities and ecosystems safe. |
