Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has successfully negotiated a pause on the transport of uranium ore across the Navajo Nation following concerns from Navajo President Buu Nygren about its potential effects. The pause allows discussions between Energy Fuels, the uranium producer, and tribal officials, ensuring measures for emergency preparedness and safety are in place. This follows recent mining activities, the first in decades, which have raised alarms due to the historical negative impacts of uranium mining on local communities.
