Significant waste volumes are associated with copper production. Mine wastes may contain radionuclides due to their natural presence in ores and can be a source of TENORM. Uranium, which may be colocated with copper ore, may also be recovered as a side stream, if economical. However, in the United States this is not a general practice.
