Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Utah

Government seizure of property

My grandfather had a Uranium mine back in the 50's and the government took it but never compensated him for it. I know they can legally take the property but I thought they have to compensate with the fair market value? If this is correct what are we able to do to get them to pay up on the property?
