The report shows that extensive radiological surveys/monitoring has been conducted around the Hanger 5 and there is no significant radiological contamination outside the storage facility. Radioactivity levels are at or below average background radiation levels in Australia. Inside the hanger, robots are being used to measure radiation levels and inspect the condition of the 10,000 drums of contaminated material – including low level and intermediate level radioactive waste – stored in the facility. This work is ongoing and will not be completed for another one to two years.

None the less, the report concludes that the current storage arrangement for low and intermediate level waste at the Woomera Test Range poses no health or environmental threat.

The report findings make a mockery of Defence’s recent claims that there’s no way a National Radioactive Waste Management Facility could be located anywhere in the enormous expanse of the Woomera Prohibited Area. The reality is that radioactive waste has been safety stored at Woomera for a quarter of century.

Government Ministers and Defence can expect to come under intense questioning from me over Defence’s bureaucratic obfuscation and deception on this issue.

ONE TO TWO YEARS! How often has ARPANSA been inspecting this site PRIOR to the 2016 inspection which found that some of the barrels were leaking, and the AMNESIA that they had no idea what they actually held, set in??

This is EVIDENCE ENOUGH to show how much we should DEFINITELY NOT TRUST THE SYSTEM!
