South Australian protest against expanding nuclear industry

Protesters warn of SA nuclear risks 9 News 11 Mar 15 Protesters have raised the spectre of the Fukushima nuclear disaster to warn against expanding the industry in South Australia.

The SA government has launched a royal commission to investigate whether the state should embrace nuclear enrichment, power production and the storage of waste.

Environmentalists have argued that the industry could generate catastrophic risks for the state.

 About 30 people gathered outside Parliament House on Wednesday, the fourth anniversary of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Propping up a giant inflatable “nuclear waste” barrel, the protesters held signs reading “Aus Uranium Fuelling Fukushima” and “SA: Renewable not Radioactive”. http://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/03/11/13/05/protesters-warn-of-sa-nuclear-risks#5MFxGQZ8vrKyHfPv.99
