You have false information that can't be confirmed and is in direct violation of the US' policy regarding uranium mining. Considering you seem to live in a some altered dimension where the world is still in 1970 with regards to technology, energy demands, and best practices, I'm going to assume that this was a concern in the 60s when we launched men to the moon with a single graphing calculator. However, in the real world, uranium is so rare that mining is limited and most of the risks of mining it are similar to the risks associated with mining copper (which is how uranium is found.)

It's okay, take another week off to find some facts.
To be fair, mining for copper really isn't particularly environmentally friendly. In fact, most mining operations are poorly constructed, rape and run practices that tend to leave behind singnificant toxins and damage to the area where they are run, cause constant problems for the locals and the reward is barely worth the effort put into it - metal prices fluctuate quite a bit, and the return for the work required for proper practices is pretty slim.
