UMH V: 5th International Conference on Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology


Once again, the Institute for Geology of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg is pleased to invite you to the next international conference “UMH V” taking place in Freiberg on September 2008. The UMH V conference will used as basis of an international forum for discussing uranium related problems in conjunction with protecting and preserving our environment. This conference builds on the very successful past conferences (UMH I to UMH IV) from 1995 until 2005.

Date: 14.09.2008 - 18.09.2008

Practitioners, consultants, regulators, policymaker, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students will have numerous opportunities to learn about innovative and emerging scientific advances and technologies that are needed to address a wide range of uranium mining and mine closure associated with environmental issues such as soil and groundwater protection, mine water treatment technologies and management, environmental impacts of phosphate mining associated with fertilizer production and technologies for uranium separation. Key sessions will include mining technologies, reclamation and remediation, regulatory issues, monitoring measures, modeling techniques, biogeochemistry of uranium, and risk assessment studies.

Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology V Conference is organized by by the Institute for Geology, TU Bergakademie Freiberg and in cooperation with following institutions and organisations.
