The activity generating the emissions is market for mine infrastructure, open cast, uranium. The Reference Product is mine infrastructure, open cast, uranium. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a mine infrastructure, open cast, uranium. The infrastructure uses U3O8 0.2% with grade and it has an annual capacity of 8.1E5 kg uranium. The open cast equipment consists mainly of draglines of 35 m3 capacity for the overburden, hydraulic backhoes of 7.5 m3 capacity for the waste rock and shovel loaders of the same size for the ore. Only with increasing depth is harder waste rock encountered, so that drilling and blasting is also necessary. 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.
