In fact they are, in large part- uranium is shaft mined and electric machinery is massively preferred to combustion for air quality reasons. The dump trucks outside the mine are diesel, but even that is changing[1]. Pretty funny- there are a number of mines where electric dump trucks actually produce energy on net!
