A compromise with uranium extraction
Article Abstract:
Czech Republic: According to a decision of the Czech government of July 1999, uranium extraction will be ended in the Czech Republic in 2001. Only two of the 16 Czech balanced uranium ore deposits were utilised within a damping programme in 1998, Hamr and Dolni Rozinka. The extraction of uranium in the locality Dolni Rozinka will go on by 2001, when the deposit is exhausted. Uranium extraction in the underground mine Hamr will be stopped. The decision is a compromise between the proposal of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic about the extension of uranium extraction by 2004 and the demand of the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic to stop the extraction. The Czech government considered the social situation in both the regions before the decision. The unemployment rate in the region Hamr is 6.4% and the unemployment rate in the region Dolni Rozinka is 15%. A total of 608 t of uranium concentrate were extracted in both the localities in 1998, four times less compared to 1989.

CEZ takes uranium concentrate from Diamo
Article Abstract:
CEZ (Prague, Czech Republic), power company, will cover all its uranium concentrate consumption from the supplies of Diamo (Straz pod Ralskem, Czech Republic) by 2003. Diamo, which is a state uraniumn concentrate production company, could put off the liquidation of its uranium mine by two years and could ensure jobs for 1,150 persons due to the supplies. CEZ will take uranium concentrate from Diamo for its Temelin Nuclear Power Station (TNPS), among others. TNPS was commissioned at the beginning of Oct 2000. According to a study of the brown coal mining company Mostecka uhelna spolecnost (MUS) (Most, Czech Republic), 13,000 persons should lose their jobs in the field of brown coal mining in north-western Bohemia due to the commissioning of TNPS.
