Uranium mining has adverse side effects to the local environment. Few want an uranium mine in their area. You could also say: uranium mining is incredibly expensive, and we're not willing to pay the cost, so we import it from countries where the cost is paid by someone else.

It is not banned because it’s expensive, it’s banned because of political reasons. Sweden are great with large scale mining.

  It's expensive in terms of the external costs. That's the reason why it's banned.

      Perhaps to some extent. But then the extraction becomes more expensive.

        Of course. But I’d rather pay more for the Uranium mining than pay outrageous electricity prices
