Colorado Defends Pinon Ridge Uranium Mine

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) reported Colorado sent a strongly worded letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission defending the state’s decision to allow the Pinon Ridge uranium mine.

As quoted in the press release:

In the letter, the State defends the Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill License (“License”) against charges that the process that resulted in the March 7, 2011 issuance of the License to Energy Fuels was flawed. The letter to the NRC upholds the validity of the license and was signed by Dr. Christopher Urbina M.D., Executive Director and Chief Medical Officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”). Dr. Urbina is a key cabinet member in the administration of Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
