Nuclear Waters Seminar Series: The Nuclear Waters of Russia’s Pryargunsky Uranium Mine. Film, Commentary and Discussion

Taking place in hybrid-format at the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment (big Seminar Room) and via Zoom: kth-se.zoom.us/j/62616138902

Greenpeace campaginer and former Arctic 30-member Dima Litvinov presents the water aspects of Krasnokamensk’s Pryargunsky Uranium Mine in eastern Siberia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Dima went to one of the biggest uranium mines in the world to investigate how water was being treated throughout the mining process. There, they were also able to film. Thanks to the financial support of the Nuclearwaters-Project, we were able to convert those old tapes into a digital format. This film is now going to be presented at the Nuclearwaters Seminar. Dima will comment on the video and we will have a joint discussion afterwards. This event should be interesting for scholars of mining endeavours in general, nuclear history, water, and contamination experts. Join us at the division’s seminar room, or online via Zoom!
