Antinuclear

Even Adelaide newspaper aware of unrealism of Sen Edwards nuclear fantasy

SA senator’s nuclear waste ‘dream’ slammed Adelaide Now 11 Feb 16 A South Australian senator’s claim that establishing a nuclear waste processing industry could help deliver free energy and reduce state taxes is an “impossible dream”, a think-tank says.

Liberal Senator Sean Edwards last year told the state’s nuclear fuel cycle royal commission that SA should recycle other countries’ spent fuel rods and use the money earned to install generators.

“The Edwards plan ignores the cost of shipping waste to Australia and relies on technology that has never before been deployed commercially,” the report said.

“It hopes that unjustified and unrealistic amounts of money will be paid for the disposal of waste.” http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/breaking-news/sa-senators-nuclear-waste-dream-slammed/news-story/35e1dcfc199397a3d6bace116c167f44
