The White Mesa Mill in southeastern Utah is the last conventional uranium mill in the country.

Utah lawmakers celebrate the industry for providing rural, high-paying jobs. But its surge is condemned by people who are concerned about the mill's environmental impacts, including the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s White Mesa community, located five miles to the south, and the nearby Navajo Nation.
