We need a Royal Commission on exiting nuclear industry – ethical, not just greedy

greed-1“We would like to see a royal commission formed to produce a blueprint on how to exit the nuclear industry that also details what the best options are for waste,” Dave Sweeney  said.

“This is a major and growing problem and an unresolved environmental issue. There is no question it is unfinished business but we are concerned that it is being perceived as a business opportunity.”

He said reduction of nuclear waste should be the guiding principle, rather than finding a storage solution to enable more waste to be produced.

“We are concerned that the promise of the dollar sign is much shinier than the reality of the danger sign.” news.com.au 21 Feb
