Uranium – Is It a Country? Free German/English Documentary
Nuclear power is back on the European political agenda with increasing
public debate about its role in meeting energy needs in a carbon
constrained future. Nuclear power plants need uranium and Australia has
the world’s largest deposits. In Europe the issue is nuclear power, in
Australia it is uranium mining with the Australian Uranium Association
talking of a bright future while national environment groups increase
their efforts against more mines

Against this background a group of independent German documentary
movie makers journeyed from BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam uranium mine in
remote South Australia to the end of the nuclear line at Germany’s
nuclear waste storage sites. Along the way they followed and filmed the
yellowcake trail and spoke to all sides of this controversial trade.

Notice the problems of mine tailings and the ten thousand year responsibility law of the companies in Australia.


Can be viewed here.

1. Listen after this BP oil disaster you are gonna see a big push for nuke plants
This is a very good documentary that shows and explains the risks and details of mining and processing uranium which you will never see in the states.

I know personally of what uranium mining has done to the Navajo and the mine tailings that still pollute that land

The nuke solution will be pushed after this spill, just be ready for it.
