Federal nuclear waste dump plan – unnecessary for medical purposes – theme for May 2018
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor offers a “cover”, respectability, for the nuclear power and nuclear waste industries to get into this country.
The real agenda for Australia’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor has always been to maintain an opening for the nuclear industry. With Lucas Heights and ANSTO, nuclear expertise is continued, in preparation for possible Australian nuclear power, and nuclear weapons.
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor now functions as a support for the Australian uranium industry, and a foot in the door for an Australian nuclear waste import industry.

Nor is ANSTO admitting that medical radioactive wastes are most suitably be dealt with at the local level, near the point of use. NO NEED FOR A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP OVER A THOUSAND Km AWAY!
