May 23 – 24 – Adelaide – Australian Energy Storage Conference & Exhibition
#NuclearCommissionSAust: an overview of submissions published about Radioactive Trash
So far the South Australian Nuclear Fuel Chain Royal Commission has published 44 Submissions about Issues Paper 4 – Management, Storage and Disposal of Waste
Surprise surprise! They haven’t published Dr Helen Caldicott’s submission. They haven’t published mine, (written under my full name Noel Christina Wauchope)
Well, as the import of radioactive trash is the main purpose of this shonky Royal Commission, we can expect that they will give priority to the pro nuclear ones.
The tally for the published submissions? – 29 in favour of South Australia importing radioactive trash, 15 against.
Of the 29 in favour- well – they ALL have a vested or very obvious commercial or career interest in the radioactive-trash-import project.
- 9 are actually companies or nuclear associations.
- 2 are government agencies, – ANSTO and the Commonwealth Government.
- 14 Individuals – all with either direct connection to a nuclear /uranium company, or with a political/career motive
- Australian Workers Union – a sad standout? I guess they have bought the nuclear lobby mantra of “jobs jobs jobs”

Federal nuclear waste dump plan – unnecessary for medical purposes – theme for May 2018
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor offers a “cover”, respectability, for the nuclear power and nuclear waste industries to get into this country.
The real agenda for Australia’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor has always been to maintain an opening for the nuclear industry. With Lucas Heights and ANSTO, nuclear expertise is continued, in preparation for possible Australian nuclear power, and nuclear weapons.
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor now functions as a support for the Australian uranium industry, and a foot in the door for an Australian nuclear waste import industry.
ANSTO is not facing up to the reality that non-nuclear methods – e.g cyclotrons can now produce all medical radioisotopes. Nor is ANSTO admitting that medical radioactive wastes are most suitably be dealt with at the local level, near the point of use. NO NEED FOR A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP OVER A THOUSAND Km AWAY!
Medical Isotope and Cyclotron Facility
The Senate Inquiry on Selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility in South Australia. has now 88 submissions published Brett Stokes and I are going through them, not at this point able to estimate how many pro-nuke how many anti-nuke.

EVENTS
See our page: Submissions on Radioactive Waste Code 2018/ Submissions published by ARPANSA are overwhelmingly critical, and in opposition to the Federal nuclear dump plan for rural South Australia. [not to be confused with the current SENATE INQUIRY Selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility in South Australia.]
