On June 20 the state enterprise VostGOK Ingulskaya mine was allowed to develop a new zone of uranium ores within the range of the blocks-of-flats in Kropivnitsky.
At the same time Smolinskaya mine employees intend to go on a strike.
VostGOK has been allowed to work at the site for 10 years, and the company promised to invest 10 million UAH in the issues of radiation and seismic influence of the mine on the housing, as well as provide the city with 2 million UAH per year on social issues. (Ukrainian metal)
