The Industrial Association "Dnieper Chemical Plant" started to process uranium-containing raw materials from iron ore deposits of the Krivorozhskii field in 1948. In 1948 - 1954 uncontrolled tailings dumps were created in natural clay pits within the SPZ of the enterprise. At present, uranium is being mined in the Ingul'skii and Vatutinskii mines near Kirovograd. The ore is processed in the Zholtiye Vody and Dneprodzerzhinsk mills, both of which are operated by the Vostochny Mining and Ore-Dressing Combine (VostGOK). Ukrainian uranium production for 1992 was estimated at 1000 tonnes of uranium]. In April 1995, the Ukrainian government approved a nuclear fuel industry plan, scheduling a threefold increase of uranium production by the year 2003.
