Katie Hobbs said Friday that she intervened this week after talking with Navajo President Buu Nygren, who had come up with a plan to test a tribal law that bans uranium from being transported on its land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Energy Fuels began hauling the ore Tuesday from its mine south of Grand Canyon National Park to a processing site in Blanding, Utah. When Nygren found out, he ordered tribal police to pull over the trucks and prevent them from traveling further. But by the time police arrived, the semi-trucks had left the reservation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Energy Fuels said in a statement Friday that it agreed to a temporary pause \u201cto address any reasonable concerns\u201d held by Nygren.

No other sites are actively mining uranium in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cWhile Energy Fuels can legally restart transport at any time, pursuant to the current licenses, permits, and federal law, the company understands and respects President Nygren\u2019s concern for his People, and wants to assure them that the company fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations,\u201d the company said. \u201cThe U.S. has adopted the highest international standards for the transport of such materials, which are in place to protect human health and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO GbsKS pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW AMhAA daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc ebfE nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY VvTxJ iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM hbvnu OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD iShaE ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV kRoBe oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX\">\n<div data-testid=\"prism-ad-wrapper\" style=\"transition:min-height 0.3s linear 1s\" data-ad-placeholder=\"true\">\n<div data-box-type=\"fitt-adbox-fitt-article-inline-outstream\" data-testid=\"prism-ad\">\n<div class=\"Ad fitt-article-inline-outstream  ad-slot\" data-slot-type=\"fitt-article-inline-outstream\" data-slot-kvps=\"pos=fitt-article-inline-outstream-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Energy Fuels isn&#x27;t legally required to give advance notice.
