ABSTRACT: The JEB Tailings Management Facility is the repository for tailings generated from processing uranium ore at the McClean Lake Operation, a uranium mine and mill complex operated by AREVA Resources Canada Inc. in northern Saskatchewan. The JEB TMF has approached its approved storage capacity. AREVA undertook the studies to provide approximately 4.5 million m3 of additional tailings storage volume. This paper provides the overall design concept and presents a technical design summary for various components of the JEB Tailings Management Facility Expansion project. A validation program, to be undertaken as part of validating key design assumptions on the performance of the expanded JEB TMF are also presented and discussed.
RÉSUMÉ: L'installation de gestion des résidus (IGR) de JEB est le stockagedes résidus générés par le traitement du minerai d'uranium à l'usine de McClean Lake, une mine d'uranium et complexe de l'usine exploitée par AREVA Resources Canada Inc. dans le nord de la Saskatchewan. L'IGR de JEB approche sa capacité approuvée. AREVA a entrepris les études pour fournir environ 4,5 millions de m3 de volume des résidus supplémentaires au cours des 25 prochaines années. Ce document présente le concept général et un résumé technique pour divers composants du projet d'expansion de l'IGR de JEB. Un programme de validation, à entreprendre dans le cadre de la validation des hypothèses principales du concept sur les performances de l'IGR de JEB élargie sont également présentés et discutés.
