Secrecy about nuclear wastes, and Australia’s hypocrisy

This website might well give the impression that it is anti-American, anti-British etc, – especially on the subject of nuclear wastes.

But – spare a thought for those two countries. At least the nuclear waste subject is RAISED there. (That’s how we can publish it)

Very hard to get  a few lines about Russia’s nuclear wastes.

As for China, France and also a few other countries (India, Korea, European states , Israel...) – well there’s nary a word about their nuclear wastes!  What do they do with radioactive wastes?  It’s a worry.  And it seems to me to be complete lunacy for countries like Australia to piously claim safety policy, while selling uranium to such countries.
