Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-25 +Created 2024-09-15I like the Falun Mine for two reasons:
- some cool chemical discoveries have been made with a relation to the mine, notably tantalum and selenium, added a section to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Falun_Mine&oldid=1245374294#Discovery_of_new_elements I used the book discovery Of The Elements by Mary Elvira Weeks as my primary reference.
- it is the Chinese version of the Scunthorpe problem due to a naming conflict with Falun Gong, a censored new religion that was banned in China
