Czech Radioactive Dilemma: To Mine Or Not To mine?

Czechia has substantial deposits of uranium. Radioactive ore was mined here in the second half of the 20th century. Most of it was sent to the former Soviet Union within a dubious deal from which Czechs had little profit. Since the mining operations caused heavy environmental damage and brought little profit to the country, they were phased-out. But there are still uranium deposits that might be exploited in the future.
