Uranium

It’s a shiny, silver bundle of tubes approximately 10-12 inches across and 1 ½ feet long. It is made up of 37 individual tubes. Each tube contains 32 pellets. 7 of these bundles produce the energy manufactured in nuclear power plants. Just 3 of the pellets within the tubes would produce enough heat to warm our homes for a year! This amazing information was gleaned from a field trip taken on Thursday, April 23. The Hay Springs High School geography class traveled to Crawford to tour the Crow Butte Resources uranium mine which is owned by Cameco. Mr. Jim Stokey welcomed the group at the site. We learned that he and Mr. Olson grew up together and he regaled us with an interesting Mr. Olson story! After the story, he introduced Mr. Larry Teahon who conducted the rest of the tour for us. Mr. Teahon told us many, many things about the uranium business, stressing that the plant in Crawford produces uranium that is used exclusively in the production of electricity. The uranium is mined using the insitu method which flushes the uranium from the ground with a water and baking soda solution. He likened the process to a water treatment plant and explained all of the safety precautions they take to make sure that neither the land nor the people working there are irreparably harmed. When asked to identify the fact or facts that they found the most interesting, the geography students indicated the following things: -The mine uses less than a pivot’s worth of water-Marcus -The hard hats we got to wear-Kyle S. -People have learned more about radiation so we don’t glow in the dark anymore-Jaycee -The mine and plant are environmentally safe-Leon -Cameco signed a contract with Russia in 2008 and since then has turned 13,500 Russian warheads into electricity-Leon, Dustin, Kyle P. -32 pellets in each tube, 37 tubes in a rod and 7 rods to produce energy in a power plant; 3 pellets would heat our homes for a year- Jerilyn
