This panel will examine new technologies being explored to address the impacts of uranium contamination on former mining and mill tailing sites in the southwest. The panel will cover the research and efforts to use technologies such as evapotranspiration covers, permeable reactive barriers, and in situ remediation. The panel will also provide updates and lessons learned on major sites undergoing remediation, including outreach efforts to inform Navajo communities about the risks that uranium mines pose, such as the recent Uranium 101 Workshop in Arizona.
