			'''In situ uranium mining''' is a method of mining used to obtain [[uranium]] that is deep underground. <onlyinclude> Dissolving [[solution]]s are injected into the [[uranium deposit]] to allow the uranium to flow more freely, allowing it to be pumped up through a system of wells to the ground above where it can be processed.</onlyinclude> When uranium [[ore]] is deep underground, removing the [[overburden\|overlying rock]] can be extremely difficult and very expensive. Not removing the overlying rock has several advantages. [[In situ]] mining causes considerably less [[environmental disturbance]] at the surface. It also reduces the potential for [[radiation exposure]] by keeping the uranium contained underground. In situ mining is more economical for mining lesser quality uranium ore than [[surface mining]] is, since the [[cost]]s of stripping away the [[overburden]] is not incurred.<ref>Ucil.nic.in, 2018.
