Petition against uranium mining in Kuusamo, Finland

There are no more operational uranium mines in the EU area. There have been sevaral (about 100), all closed now. Most of these have ruined their environment, as the decay products of natural uranium are left in the waste at the site. These by-products are more dangerous than uranium: radium and polonium.

A recent proposal to open an uranium mine in Sweden was cancelled, as the council of the Berg county opposed the idea. So this leaves Finland all alone with all these uranium mine projects.

There are several petitions against these uranium mines, but the highest number of signatures can be found in the petition for referendum about nuclear power and uranium mines. This one is for finnish citizens only. The other petitions against uranium mines are:
