Anti-nuclear campaigners from Central Australia are hoping to put international pressure on the Commonwealth to abandon plans for a nuclear waste facility in the Northern Territory.

Natalie Wasley from the Beyond Nuclear Initiative says it is providing a briefing and a DVD to be screened and distributed to delegates at a conference in Sweden this weekend on the management of radioactive waste.

She says the Australian Government’s failure to consult people who are likely to be affected by the four sites being considered is out of step with what other countries are doing.
