Uranium – The Half-life of Hope
Museum of Northern Arizona 3101 N Fort Valley Rd, Flagstaff, AZ, United StatesThe legacy of uranium mining on the Navajo Nation is well known to people who live near abandoned mines and mills. In 2005, the Nation banned uranium mining and milling on its reservation, and a 20-year ban on new mining claims on public lands adjacent to Grand Canyon is in effect.
