True! Suppose if you throw enough money at it... I'm assuming they would rather close these dams off to the public before spending big bucks... This reminded me of another issue in Florida USA I think.... Somehow, someone convinced officials that a tyre dump site out at sea would make an awesome artificial reef/home for corals and tropical fish to colonize... I stand to correction on the exact facts but it was approved... here is a pic

I just stumbled on this article (Source: Carte Blanche) regarding Wonderfonteinspruit which feeds Donaldson Dam.

‘Uranium has two properties. It is chemically toxic; it can lead to kidney failure. It is also radioactive, which means it has a carcinogenic effect.’
