Management of uranium mine waste rock and mill tailings : support document to DIS-10-01. : CC172-136/2010E-PDF
"The CNSC has considerable experience with management of uranium mine waste (tailings and mine waste rock). Given that applicants for new uranium mines may propose using natural waterbodies frequented by fish for the disposal of uranium mine waste, the CNSC is setting out regulatory expectations that best available techniques be used and natural waterbodies frequented by fish be avoided for waste disposal and long-term management (see attached document). The CNSC intends to formalize its position in a regulatory document and welcomes comments from all stakeholders on the attached draft."--Summary, p. 5-6.
