The activity generating the emissions is market for mine infrastructure, underground, uranium. The Reference Product is mine infrastructure, underground, uranium. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a mine infrastructure, underground, uranium. The infrastructure uses U3O8 0.2% with grade and it has an annual capacity of 2.45E5 kg uranium. If economic open cast mining is impossible (overburden too hard or more than 100 m thick), the uranium ore must be extracted by deep mining. The deposit is opened up by shafts and drifts. In uranium mining, essentially the same technology is used as in conventional mining. The process includes building materials and land use. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity.
