When the mines produce uranium, they also create waste which they dump into a river that runs through a small town. The marginal external cost of the dumped waste is equal to the marginal private cost of producing uranium (that is, the marginal social cost of producing the uranium is double the marginal private cost). If no one owns the river and the government levies a pollution tax, what is the tax per ton of uranium that achieves the efficient outcome?
