4.83. As regards uranium, a special regulatory framework was adopted at the end of 2006 to facilitate exploitation of the Bakouma deposit by URANIM, a privately owned company. This framework also includes the requirement to process radioactive minerals in the country before export, as well as to manage waste and to market radioactive substances in keeping with international standards. In addition to the provisions of the Mining Code, the possession, holding, transport, processing, handling and marketing of mineral substances or radioactive products and all operations relating to them are subject to prior authorization. The relevant procedures are laid down in laws and regulations, in particular the law on radioactive minerals. Such activities are also subject to international rules on radioactive substances.
