Danville, VA to Host Uranium Seminar

Uranium Educational Seminar to be Held in Danville
A free Uranium Mining Educational Seminar will be held for the public at the North Theatre in Danville on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 6:30 pm. The seminar is being sponsored by Southside Concerned Citizens, Inc, a 501C-3 non-profit organization dedicated to environmental issues in Southside Virginia.

Experts on this issue as well as DVD-style presentations will present attendees an opportunity to educate themselves on the possibility of uranium mining in Virginia with its unique climate conditions compared to areas where uranium as previously been mined in the United States. The promise or failure of “new technologies” in uranium mining will also be addressed. The ultimate effect on Virginia’s water, wildlife, crops, livestock, and citizens’ health will be a primary issue discussed.

While actual speakers’ lists are fluid at present, SCC organizers Anne Cockrell and Karen Maute promise an extremely interesting and educational evening.
