skos:definition "[Mining in a mine that yields 'radioactive ore' containing 'uranium series' or <br/>
'thorium series' radionuclides either in amounts or concentrations sufficient to <br/>warrant exploitation or, when present in conjunction with other substances <br/>being mined, in amounts or concentrations that require <i>radiation protection<br/></i>measures to be taken; and processing of 'radioactive ores' from such mines to <br/>produce a chemical concentrate.]<br/>
This definition was restricted to those mining and processing operations <br/>aimed at extracting 'uranium series' or 'thorium series' radionuclides and those <br/>aimed at extracting other substances from ore that represent a significant <br/>radiological hazard. This definition has been included for information only. <br/>The terms 'mining' and 'milling' should be used with their normal dictionary <br/>definitions, qualified where necessary (e.g. by use of the term 'radioactive').<br/>Strictly speaking, milling in the context of the processing of minerals is the <br/>processing of ore to reduce its particle size, especially by crushing or grinding. <br/>However, in the context of this definition, the term 'milling' is used in a <br/>broader sense to include additional (e.g. hydrometallurgical) processing. <br/>
Owing to the possibility of confusion, the use of the word 'milling' in this <br/>broader sense, in this expression or elsewhere, is discouraged.<br/>
