Until the end of the 1990s, in Ciudanovita, a town located in Caraş-Severin County, uranium mining was carried out. The mines at Ciudanovita and Lişava were exploited by the Russians for a long time, as payment for war debts. In the 1990s, the mines were closed without being ecologized, a fact that still endangers the health of the people in the town today. Because, as is known, the dozens of tailings dumps left after uranium mining have radioactive potential.
