Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in the remote northern Saskatchewan, the Gunnar mine and town-site exemplify the rise and fall of a mining community. Established to support one of the world's largest uranium producers, the town thrived until its closure in 1964, leaving behind a significant environmental disaster. With over 5 million tonnes of uranium ore extracted and little remediation, the site became notorious for its pollution. Recent efforts by the Saskatchewan and Canadian governments aim to address the environmental damage, with ongoing clean-up and future monitoring planned.
