To the editor: While all of the uranium mining studies, I would like to see the results of the tests done on the liner that will be used to line the hole where the mine tailings will be stored. Let’s be very short in time and say the tailings will only be a problem of possibly polluting the water table and the surrounding area for a mere 1,000 years (even if we all know it will be much longer). Let’s see the tests that show this liner will last that long without leaking, splitting or decaying. I would like to know who will manufacture this so-called miracle liner and exactly how they tested it to be so sure it will last as long as the danger of the tailings will last.
