Radiation exposure in mines is regulated by MSHA, a federal regulatory agency located within the Department of Labor. MSHA's regulatory authority extends to underground and to surface mines, as well as to the mining infrastructure, such as ore‐processing facilities and tailings. In the case of uranium, MSHA shares mining health and safety responsibilities with the NRC. Contributions of uranium tailings to the off‐site environment are regulated by the EPA. MSHA's health and safety regulations are published in 30 CFR 57.
