Uranium Mines in South Dakota - A health hazard?
Originally aired Wednesday, June 29, 2005
Today's Forum examines the potential health impact of Uranium mines in South Dakota. Guests include Charmane Whiteface with the Defenders of the Black Hills - a group that has been actively calling for the restoration of un-reclaimed uranium mines across the state; Harold One Feather, a former Environmental consultant for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and Walt Stevens - both men believe the mines have caused higher cancer rates in the area; and finally Lori Walters-Clark with the Custer National Forest - Walters-Clark has been involved in the current effort to reclaim some of the major mines."
Uranium Mines
Originally aired Friday, December 16, 2005 At two people per square mile, Harding County in the northwestern corner of the State is among the most sparsely populated areas in South Dakota. While the County is low in population, it’s high in something else – uranium. A boom in the 1950s led to the establishment of more than 30 open-pit uranium mines in the area.
Fifty years later, local residents have come to fear that the un-reclaimed mines have led to an increase in cancer. But, no studies have been done on the extent of any contamination so the actual cause of many cancers in the area remains a mystery.
SDPB’s Charles Michael Ray has this story on local residents who are trying to get to the bottom of the cancers in Harding County."
