Aboriginal traditional owners of the Ranger uranium mine say they will oppose a planned large expansion of the operation unless Energy Resources of Australia overhauls its management of the site, in Kakadu National Park. The Mirarr people say they fear radiological contamination of land and water downstream of the mine. ERA said it welcomed discussion and encouraged responses to an environmental impact study it would lodge soon.
