Open geodataset of uranium mines and deposits moved to GitHub

[Jan Helebrant]

Hi all safecasters,

as I remember at least some of you were interested in this interactive map of places somehow connected with deposits of radioactive raw materials - no matter if mining, processing or just exploration.

As Google has turned off the Fusion Tables service the map stopped working and I had to find alternative solution. You currently find the map on GitHub - direct link to the map is here:

https://github.com/juhele/opengeodata/blob/master/Open_geodataset_of_uranium_mines_and_deposits/World_uranium_mines_and_reserves_v3.geojson

but it might change after updating the file so using this link and click to GeoJSON file there should always work:

https://github.com/juhele/opengeodata/tree/master/Open_geodataset_of_uranium_mines_and_deposits

The dataset covers whole world and I am trying to add more data there in future:

this is example of zooming to particular country - here Czech Republic:

there is also GeoPackage (*.gpkg) file available to download so you can display these sites together with other layers and your Safecast data in QGIS for example:

The dataset is based on several sources - for example USGS, geological surveys of Finland, Czech Republic, IAEA documents etc. which are mentioned for each site.

hope you will find it useful

regards

Jan

TIL - has no idea geojson was a thing or that GitHub would render it for you.

Thanks for this, Jan!

Hi,

I am using all the time having to spend at home also to continue in work. Just uploaded updated version of the dataset:

https://github.com/juhele/opengeodata/tree/master/Open_geodataset_of_uranium_mines_and_deposits

I added few missing mines in Canada, in the  Elliot Lake region and also the sites in South America from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS).

I am also going to add Africa and the rest of the world and also check it with the IAEA sources like UDEPO:

https://infcis.iaea.org/UDEPO/CountryReport

but it will need some more time.

regards

Jan

Hi,

just wanted to say that my open dataset of uranium related sites (and thus also a list of potentially interesting places to visit with your bGeigie):

https://github.com/juhele/opengeodata/tree/master/Open_geodataset_of_uranium_mines_and_deposits

got a big updates in recent weeks. I also plan to focus more on Europe in next month - there are only few sites in Poland included and the other countries are also not fully covered and I would like to improve that.

You always can get the most recent version from the Github link mentioned above.

enjoy

Jan
