“Nuclear Medicine” – the fig leaf on the toxic nuclear industry – theme for May 2018
Small rural communities in South Australia are being told that it’s their patriotic duty to save Australia’s nuclear medicine – by allowing a nuclear waste dump in their area.
This is the patently lying propaganda of the Australian Government ‘s Department of Industry, Innovation and Science now busily involve spending tax-payers’ money on pro nuclear spin.
The real purpose of the radioactive trash dump is to host nuclear waste – euphemistically called “intermediate level” waste – currently stored in of 9,8000 leaking rusty barrels at Woomera, and also the wastes produced by the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor. These also so-called “intermediate ” wastes are the reprocessed wastes returned from France, with more to come in the future.
The Australian nation is being conned by the government and its well-funded nuclear promotion organisation Australian National Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), with the furphy that the whole purpose of the reactor is medical.
(a) the “medical isotope” function was tacked on – the original purpose was to lead to nuclear weapons. The current purpose is just a foot in the door for the whole nuclear fuel chain.
(b) Nuclear reactors are now going out of fashion, as the cheaper, more flexible, local, cyclotrons can produce medical isotopes safely – with no radioactive waste created.
