Not forgetting the mines in central and west Cornwall, where records show that two mines, South Terras near St. Austell and Wheal Trenwith at St. Ives, produced approximately 700 tons each of uranium ores, mostly pitchblende, with small tonnages of uranium ores being found in several other mines, late in the 19th century and early in the 20th. Whether there's any left at those locations, or whether there's more to be found elsewhere in Cornwall, is a moot point.
I'd have thought that doing what is suggested would be against laws within the EU, after all there are other countries particularly some with mountains, that have been cutting up rough with them but have not had such a threat carried through. Brian
*shrug*. As a result of discussion on this point I looked up the UK generation capacity - without 'renewables' its about 55GW. The link to France is 2GW.....
Go figure...
I found a very good report on uranium by the British geological survey. There's quite a bit scattered around the islands
