The Crow Butte uranium mine, near Crawford, has been a commercial business for 16 years. It's currently applying for an extension of its license to mine uranium, and for permission to expand their mining operations. Groups from Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota are protesting Crow Butte's application, over concerns about how the mine is affecting groundwater. Jim Kent reports.
