Talk:Uranium tailings

Why not in (general) tailings?
Why is this not merged with the main article -> tailings? Many aspects relate to tailings of uranium ore and other ores alike. (83.76.181.39 00:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC))
 * The radioactivity aspect actually warrants some special considerations. I declined the merge. --Alvestrand (talk) 18:33, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed, especially given the amount of federal legislation specifically concerning uranium tailings. Karmos (talk) 19:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Wording
- 'Byproduct' implies a valuable good. Tailings however are a negative-value waste material. (83.76.181.39 00:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC))
 * No, it doesn't. . A byproduct a product which was not the main goal of process.
