The pretense that medical waste is the same as high level nuclear reactor waste
The Adelaide Advertiser in its usual role as mouthpiece for the nuclear lobby, published an article by Jim McDowell (24 -10-16) . I presume that it was the usual glowing endorsemnet of all things nuclear – I was unable to read it, as I am not a subscriber. But, strangely – they let us read the comments! And here are a couple of them:
Whine about environmental groups bringing money into Australia whilst mining companies underhandedly rip off our country without fair payment! Not even completing remediating the damage done. Wake up to what you are saying!
Australia’s nuclear industry is hardly paying it’s way either. For all the mess uranium miners leave, we make more money exporting cheese!
The dump is an economic basket case that is so flawed they have to compromise safety at every step for it to possibly break even. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/opinion/jim-mcdowell-conversation-about-the-merits-of-establishing-a-nuclear-waste-industry-in-south-australia-is-worth-continuing/news-story/277c34a9d4c1c8f520431a8ce44837ca

Is there a reason that Jim McDowell feels the need to blur the line and pretend they are the same? Is it
a lack of knowledge on his part? Surely not! It is his field, he shouldn’t be making mistakes here. Why would he be misinforming us, is he afraid to be honest? Why?
Why is he coming here if he is unable to discern the difference? Is it to try and sway the Citizen’s Jury?
