Flooding of the deep uranium mine Hamr I by free water from tailings pond

  • Conference paper
Uranium in the Aquatic Environment

Abstract

The contribution is devoted to the description and the application of the mathematical model of groundwater flow and reactive-transport on the problem of flooding of the deep uranium mine by water from tailings pond. The currently performed flooding of the Hamr I mine significantly affects the hydrogeological situation in the area of Straz block. The problem of flooding the mine goes together with liquidation of the chemical treatment plant tailings pond. The flooding by alkalized tailings pond free water will avoid future acidification of mine water as a result of decomposition of oxidized pyrite minerals.
