The 2025 field season kept SRC’s Project CLEANS team busy with engaging meetings with Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, ongoing remediation efforts and the continued monitoring of recovering ecosystems across these sites in the Athabasca Basin.
Radioactivity in mining is commonly associated with uranium but there are numerous other sources of it that can be found in the mining industry. While radioactivity is a natural phenomenon that needs to be managed, there are also cases where it can be used as a tool in driving exploration forward. It’s important then to understand what radioactivity is, how it’s encountered and the risks and benefits associated with it.
