WMS Map: Uranium Mine
About Uranium Mine ....
"Rock layers are visible at an inactive uranium mine on Kazakhstan’s Mangyshlak Peninsula. While this particular mine closed in the 1990s, Kazakhstan continues to be an important source of uranium and in 2019 produced 43% of the world’s supply. Uranium is primarily used for nuclear power generation and is also used in the creation of nuclear weapons." https://www.over-view.com/overviews/kazakhstan-uranium-mine
