man_made=works
product=uranium 
name=*
operator=*

and a bit further out

barrier=fence

The reasoning stays the same. Dangerous industrial/mining activity tends to be 
fenced in to prevent accidents. I don't see why radioactivity needs any 
special handling compared to other dangerous activities like:
production of volatile poisons
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster>
storage of fireworks
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enschede_fireworks_disaster>
etc.
