Canadian Shortliner Wrote:@steinjr- I think you're mixing up Blind River and Bruce Mines. I never knew that there was still a uranium refinery there. I thought most uranium mining had stopped in the area after the 60s, but there must still be a few mines left. I've heard that mining could restart sometime in the future too, so that could be an idea.
Sorry - I meant to write Blind River. The uranium is not mined on site - Concentrated Uranium ore is received in drums from a lot of places, and processed before being shipped out to further processing at Port Hope in SE Ontario (and some onwards to the UK for further processing)
