Uranium clash as Kerr-McGee and UNC face mill shutdown risk
United Nuclear Corporation warns a groundwater permit denial could force the Church Rock mill closure, endangering about 600 workers and threatening the local economy. Kerr-McGee officials say ore from two Church Rock mines goes to UNC's mill, with rising costs and potential shutdowns tied to tailings controls.
