Wait- SLIGHTLY radioactive? Where does the stuff come from? Do they use THAT much of it? Mountain never seems to get smaller - only bigger?

The radioactivity is why it never gets smaller. It would be tough to move in quantity but if you could find a use for it and work out the transportation, you'd be a millionaire overnight.

Gypsum is mined. It keeps well when stored in those large mountains. It depends on economics as to whether it's getting smaller or larger.
