registration is not available
U2010 will feature a one and one-half day short course on
Uranium Processing and Environmental Impact. The course
curriculum will
take the participant through the uranium processing flow sheet
from mineralogy, its influence on treatment route choices to
hydrometallurgy
to product recovery including refining and conversion.
Course participants will gain valuable insights into the
technologies applied to and
issues involved in dealing with milling effluents and wastes and
environmental compliance requirements and trends, both in Canada
and in
other jurisdictions. Uranium processing specific health
and safety considerations will also be covered. A
principal key objective of this
course is to familiarize participants with the current state of
the art in uranium recovery in the various technical areas.
The emphasis will
be on pragmatic approaches to dealing with real issues.
The symposium organizers reserve the right to cancel the Short
Course if the registration is inadequate, and a full refund will
be provided
in such circumstances. Persons interested in attending the short course but not the conference, may place themselves on a wait list until July 1st.
