Ask the Australian Senate to consider this: why was South Australia chosen – to house Lucas Heights’ nuclear waste?
The appropriateness and thoroughness of the site selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility at Kimba and Hawker in South Australia.
That’s the first question to consider in the Terms Of Reference for the Senate Economics References Committee. It means a journey of approx 1700 Km
This is in conflict with International Atomic Energy Agency’s best practce – as set out in The Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management::
“radioactive waste should, as far as is compatible with the safety of the management of such material, be disposed of in the State in which it was generated”.

Tim Bickmore has reminded me that the IAEA is using “States” to mean whole countries. However, the principle remains the same – the transport of wastes brings risk all along the way.
