"This comes after Navajo President <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuuNygren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuuNygren</a> cut a secret deal with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyFuels</a> for the uranium transport trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation. Nygren released a statement about the sick truck driver. Nygren said the Navajo Nation EPA coordinated with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office and the Flagstaff Fire Department. The Fire Department conducted radiation scans on the truck and said that the radiation levels at the location were within safe limits."Three other uranium ore trucks at the designated inspection site were allowed to pass and continue to the White Mesa Mill, Nygren said. Energy Fuels notified the Navajo Nation EPA at 11:40 a.m. that the fourth truck -- whose driver was sick -- returned back to the Pinyon Plain Mine, Nygren said. Coconino County Sheriff Bret Axlund said the truck driver had "flu-like symptoms" and refused medical transport from the site. An ambulance was called to the site, just north of Flagstaff, in the area of Hwy 89 and Townsend Winona Road. "Earlier, the Navajo Nation Council said President Nygren entered into a secret deal with Energy Fuels, without the knowledge or consent of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoCouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NavajoCouncil</a>, to allow the uranium ore trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrandCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrandCanyon</a> mine enroute to Utah.

'This trip underscores my commitment to working collaboratively, regardless of political affiliation—be it Republican or Democratic—to advocate for our Nation’s needs and priorities,' he wrote on Facebook. [You know, like allowing radioactive material transport through their lands without notification, or turning their reservation into an extension of ICE]."Nygren said that he fulfilled his 'obligations' to the Navajo Nation Council by submitting a written report, which aligns with the requirements of Title 2 of the Navajo Nation Code." 'This action demonstrates my commitment to transparency and accountability to the Navajo people,' he added."Curley said working with federal partners is important, but the president must also report to the Navajo people and engage in meaningful dialogue with the Council members." 'What we’re seeing from President Nygren is a lot of one-way communication directed at the Navajo people through radio, livestreams, newsletters, social media, and now a written report,' Curley said in a press release." 'The Navajo people want to hear President Nygren present his report in person and to have an in-depth dialogue with the Council,' she added. 'Yes, it’s important to work with our federal partners, but President Nygren also needs to work with our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Din%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diné</a> leaders as he promised when he campaigned for the presidency.'"During Monday’s opening day of the spring session, several Navajo Nation Council delegates voiced their concerns about Nygren’s administration. They cited repeated absences, unilateral decision-making, and alleged misrepresentations made to both federal partners and the Council." 'We’ve been patient and willing to work with him,' Navajo Nation Council Delegate <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrendaJesus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrendaJesus</a> said.

"Summary of full statement:● We call on the Navajo Nation President to stop making deals that degrade our land, water, and future.● We urge tribal leaders not to repeat historical mistakes with respect to uranium extraction: Leave this Nayee’, Łeetso, in the ground. The cleanup and remediation of hundreds of abandoned mines must be completed, prioritizing public health safety and ecosystem health.● We stand against the transport of uranium ore across the Navajo Nation because it is inconsistent with the intent of the Navajo Radioactive and Related Substances, Equipment, Persons and Materials Transportation Act of 2012, regardless of jurisdictional limits on our highways and roads.● We steadfastly OPPOSE coal development, which negatively impacts the lands, water, and health of the Navajo people and contributes to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>.● We stand in protection of our water, health, traditional lifeways, Earth bundles (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Jish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jish</a>), and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotherEarth</a>.

This radioactive transport from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrandCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrandCanyon</a> means even more deadly waste for another Native community -- the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteMesaUte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteMesaUte</a> community in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Utah</a>. "Now, with little or no information along the haul route, the Navajo government expects the Dine' Chapters on the route to each have an emergency preparedness plan. Leona asked if the Dine' communities are aware of this and whether the Navajo Chapters are certified to deal with radioactive emergencies."'Who are their First Responders?' Ultimately, Dine' will have to confront the Navajo President and the Navajo Department of Justice, she said. 'We were not included in that agreement,' Leona said of the agreement between the Navajo Nation and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energy</a> Fuels."'There was no free, prior and informed consent,' Leona said, quoting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UNDRIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UNDRIP</a>]. 'The people in the communities were not consulted.'"'How can they start transporting on February 12th, when there aren't even any checkpoints? We don't even have an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirMonitoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirMonitoring</a> system,' Leona said of the lack of preparation for radioactive transport on the Navajo Nation. Energy Fuels plans to pass through Navajo communities with six to ten trucks of radioactive waste, beginning on Feb. 12, 2025. "Leona urged communities to organize, and pointed out that Navajo Chapters can have their own checkpoints. With the new push for '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrillBabyDrill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DrillBabyDrill</a>,' by the U.S. President, the Navajo Nation faces an uncertain future, she said. The U.S. is investing money into the development of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalEarthMinerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalEarthMinerals</a> and investing in Energy Fuels mill at White Mesa Ute."'We need to push our government to do what we want -- not what the federal government wants.'"'It's going to get worse because they think nuclear is clean energy,' Leona said of the push for alternative energy."The Navajo Nation's agreement with Energy Fuels means more dangerous radioactive dumping in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteMesaUte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteMesaUte</a> community. In the agreement, Energy Fuels states it will transport 10,000 tons of uranium-bearing cleanup materials from abandoned <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UraniumMines</a> within the Navajo Nation.

DoomsdaysCWThe Dirty Deadly Front End of Nuclear Power — 15,000 Abandoned Uranium Mines (Pt. 1)by Josh Cunnings, March 11, 2016"The perplexing problem of these open, deadly, toxic messes was discussed between Emerson Urry and Arnie Gundersen."Urry: I want to go back for a minute to the uranium. We were talking about Fukushima and obviously the myriad isotopes that are put off as a byproduct of the nuclear fission that is happening in the reactor. It all starts there with the uranium, and there was quite a rush for that, and now we have all of these situations. To our understanding there are about 15,000 abandoned uranium mines that have been left in complete ruin with very little cleanup or remediation at all, just in the western United States. This has happened, by-and-large, because of an antiquated mining bill – the 1872 Mining Bill – still affecting these situations today – that kind of allowed miners to just walk away from these situations — but yet, they remain in the open leaching off tailings – blowing around <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioactive</a> dust. I think there’s about 4,500 of these exposed mining sites just in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Navajo</a> country – another 2,500 or so in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wyoming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wyoming</a>. How do we deal with that situation? What does the future hold in those regards, and quite frankly, are we all being poisoned by these mines?"Gundersen: I’ll give you another example of the same thing, and I would say 'yes' to everything you said is the quick answer. There is a mill-tailings site in Moab, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Utah</a>. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NRC</a>] told the owner of the site that they needed to set aside six million dollars to clean it up. Well, the actual <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cleanup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cleanup</a> is a billion dollars. What did the owner do? They declared <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bankruptcy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bankruptcy</a> and walked away."Urry: And it wasn’t bonded? No bond?"Gundersen: Right. It wasn’t bonded. You know, if you bonded uranium mining, you wouldn’t have uranium mining."Full article: <a href="https://www.environews.tv/031116-031016-pt-1-the-dirty-deadly-frontend-of-nuclear-power-15000-abandoned-uranium-mines/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.environews.tv/031116-031016-pt-1-the-dirty-deadly-frontend-of-nuclear-power-15000-abandoned-uranium-mines/</a>Video: <iframe src='//players.brightcove.net/1927032138001/VJLYtUsKx_default/index.html?videoId=5572349559001' allowfullscreen frameborder=0></iframe><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UraniumMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UraniumMines</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicLegacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToxicLegacy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalRacism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearWaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWeapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearWeapons</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nuclear</a>
