Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry
Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry was a committee established by the Whitlam Government in Australia, which sought to explore the environmental concerns surrounding uranium mining.Report
According to the National Archives of Australia:
The Inquiry found that if uranium mining was properly regulated and controlled, its hazards were not sufficient to prevent the development of the mines. The Inquiry recommended the establishment of a comprehensive system of environmental monitoring and research, overseen by a coordinating committee representing all the agencies involved, and chaired by a supervising scientist. It also recommended the granting of Aboriginal title to a substantial part of the region and the creation of a national park.
