Environ. Sci. Technol. 2008, 42, 2624–2630 including uranium mining, milling, enrichment, and fuel Sustainability of Uranium Mining manufacture. However, there are only limited data reported and Milling: Toward Quantifying by uranium miners with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. Further, additional issues that need to be considered for Resources and Eco-Efficiency uranium mining and milling include the extent of economic resources known and the average ore grade of these resources. These aspects are critical in assessing the long-term ability G A V I N M . M U D D * ,† A N D of nuclear power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. MARK DIESENDORF‡ This paper compiles and presents the available data on Institute for Sustainable Water Resources, Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, Australia 3800, uranium mining and milling, with a particular emphasis on and Institute of Environmental Studies, University of New historical production trends, known economic resources, and South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia 2052 greenhouse gas emissions, as well as water and energy consumption. This is then placed within the context of sustainability metrics applied
