Public hearings on a controversial Greenland mine get underway
The political approval process for the Kuannersuit (or Kvanefjeld) rare earths and uranium mine near Narsaq began on Friday.
After a brief summer visit to the small town of Narsaq in grassy southern Greenland, Danish nuclear physicist Niels Bohr, famous for his Nobel Prize and his part in the Manhattan Project in the U.S. that led to the first nuclear bomb, had a small square named after him. Last time I was in Narsaq, the diminutive sign was still testifying to the event: “Niels Bohr Square.”
