Where to put Australia’s hospital radioactive wastes?

MP attacks nuclear waste ‘indecision’
ABC News 30 Sept 09

The Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, says the constant relocation of 10,000 barrels of radioactive waste highlights state and Federal Government indecision.

The barrels, currently stored in an old aircraft hanger in the Woomera Prohibited Area, will be moved to another temporary storage facility a few kilometres away while the Federal Government decides where to build a permanent facility………….

“Here we are, about five years later with still no decisions made by the Federal Government, they’re trying to establish a repository in [the] Northern Territory now, having the same kind of local resistance. It needs to be done, it needs to be got out of hospital basements
