Antinuclear

Dump for Lucas Heights wastes not the same thing as importing foreign nuclear wastes

We may now expect Fed govt to await the bi-election in Canning in Perth on Sept 17^th before announcing the national nuclear dump site short list across SA & WA – just as South Australian  Premier awaited his bi-elections before announcing the Nuclear Fuel Chain Royal Commission

In any case, the national store & repository are required by law under National Radioactive Waste Management Act 2012 as a national dump to be restricted to take waste ‘of domestic origin’.

And so has to be at a different site to proposed International nuclear dump being pushed in South Australia.
