Maralinga’s radioactive fallout 1963 and ? 2009
Dr. Dick van Steenis It is very interesting to compare the above map of the recent dust storms with the map of the radioactive fallout from the British bomb tests at Maralinga. (see below)
It is also interesting to note that there is very little media coverage about the origins of the dust and the probability of radioactive particles from the Maralinga region where no real clean up was ever carried out. The film maker David Bradbury has been on ABC. His concerns were initially brushed off by a “scientist”, Professor Barry Noller, from Brisbane. It has been shown that that guy is financed by the likes of BHP. David has since received support from Bill Williams, MBBS President Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia), International Councillor, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.
It seems that SA Minister Holloway, responsible for all decisions regarding the Olympic Dam expansion, has acknowledged that BHP has to reconsider dust control measures for the planned open pit mine.
