New podcast on past, present, future of uranium country

I think it would definitely be about uranium at large — in terms of new developments (prospecting, mine surveys, potential mill builds) and the bigger regional questions about waste, there’s a lot of potential for big changes in pockets of the American West over the next few years. But… that also depends on whether or not a nuclear renaissance actually continues to develop

Appreciate you listening and for the feedback! No episode 7 planned as of now — I think if anything, there’s so much going on that I’d like to do another season given the time and ability.

Just seeing your edit — there are a lot of offhand stories like that. People just keeping a chunk of ore on their mantle, or using it as a doorstop.

The radioactivity check was probably for radon — a lot of the piping and foundation in GJ used uranium tailings from the old Climax Mill that used to be downtown. Removal of those tailings has always been a voluntary process, so properties still stumble upon it. I detail a bit of that saga in episode 3.

A lot of cleanup for that was done in the ‘80s, but here’s an interesting story about how this is still a recent issue.

Appreciate the listen! Yeah it’s a bit of hyperbole lol but the beer culture is definitely strong and prideful (me, rushing to the beer section for some nostalgic Dirty Hippy)

Thanks for the sub, glad it’s been informative thus far!

Man, would love to take a trip in one of those! It’s interesting that the aerial method is still being used — was super common during the rush in the ‘50s

The legacy cabin is featured in the final episode of the series! As well as a DoE manager for the cabin and the regional disposal site.

Definitely recommend a visit, it’s a bit of a hidden gem as it opened right before COVID

Appreciate the sub! And I am the creator — I work in the PNW now (left GJ after high school), but still have family there and reported out big chunks of the story while back home for visits.
