RICHMOND – A proposal to lift Virginia’s 30-year ban on uranium mining advanced Monday when a legislative panel recommended that the General Assembly address the issue this year.
The Virginia Commission on Coal and Energy approved a motion in favor of legislation after the Uranium Working Group presented the findings from its report, which was released last month. The group was established by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) to describe what kind of regulatory framework would be necessary if legislators decide to lift the moratorium.
