Residents of Dubence, in the Příbram district of the Czech Republic, will vote alongside local elections on whether to allow the construction of a stationary sorting facility near the waste heap of former uranium mine number 19. The project aims to convert material from the heap into construction aggregate. However, some locals fear the facility will remain permanently and eventually process waste from other locations. The decision rests with the local community, highlighting a division within the village regarding the plan's long-term implications. Concerns center around the potential for ongoing industrial activity and the environmental impact of processing additional material. The outcome of the vote will determine the future of the uranium waste heap and its surrounding area in Dubence. This referendum underscores the local impact of past uranium mining activities in the region.
