Does this place have any sort of geothermal activity, with magma and such?
Also, if we have so much uranium ore, what would we use it for? I mean, bombs are good and all... but how would we deliver them? We don't seem to have any rocket technology, and no aircraft, so bombs may as well be useless. I think nuclear reactors would be much better use of the uranium- and if we are going bombs anyhow, wouldn't a nuclear reactor be able to produce plutonium? Missilewise, it would actually be fairly easy. Rockets can be propelled well enough by just refined kerosene or ethanol, and since refrigeration isn't currently a thing, the simplest available oxidizer would probably be hydrogen peroxide.
EDIT: I've been talking to moony, resident GM, on the discord. Thanks to me and my love of logic, I've accidentally convinced him into having an imminent chimney fire problem due to coal dust buildup, a lack of oxygen, requiring either large fans or air compressors. Cleaning the chimneys would take about a day each, for a total of 100 days. Or, we could just take everything above ground, taking up huge amounts of time due to our lack of elevators and transport more advanced than wheelbarrows. Which would leave little time to actually equip the military. Or, we could just deal with huge chimney fires and inability to burn large amounts of coal due to oxygen loss, and dwarves dropping dead from lack of breathable air. Dear Bay12.
I fucked up.
