Is Napandee another Maralinga?

Kim Mavromatis Fight To Stop Nuclear Waste In The Flinders Ranges, 15 June 20,

The similarities between Napandee and Maralinga are frightening.

The dangers of British Nuclear Bomb Testing and Radioactive Fallout were downplayed and sugarcoated by the British and a complicit Australian Federal govt at Maralinga in South Australia in the 1950’s and 60’s.

In 2020, 60 years later, the dangers of Radioactive Nuclear Waste, to be dumped on farmland in South Australia, is also being sugarcoated and downplayed by the federal govt.

Spent Nuclear Fuel (other nations classify as High-Level Radioactive Nuclear Waste, which is 10,000 times more radioactive that uranium ore) and reprocessed Spent Nuclear Fuel (still contains 95% of the radioactivity of HLRNW), is to be transported halfway across Australia, from Lucas Heights in NSW and other unknown sites, and dumped at a farmland facility in South Australia.

The Federal govt sugarcoating of the Radioactive Nuclear Waste dumps process is eerily similar to the way the British and complicit Australian Federal govt at the time handled Nuclear Bomb testing and Radioactive Fallout at Maralinga. Aboriginal rights (and the Black Lives Matter movement) are being swept aside in South Australia by the Australian Federal govt, just like Maralinga, and the farmland site selected for the radioactive nuclear waste dumps, Napandee, near Kimba on Eyre Peninsula, has the potential to become another notorious modern-day Maralinga.

8.30 p.m TOTEM & ORE

Australia, 2019, Director & Producer: John Mandelberg, Executive Producer: Bozic Wongar,Actress and speaker: Ursula Yovich, documentary, with German subtitles, 97 min.

German premiereThe film begins in 1945 with the atomic annihilation of Hiroshima and ends with the Fukushima meltdown in 2011. It examines the aftermath of atomic bombs, nuclear weapons tests and the Fukushima reactor accident. Radioactive fallout from the British nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s at Emu Field and Maralinga in South Australia not only contaminated large parts of the Australian outback. Radioactive rain also reached cities like Adelaide. Above all, however, the Aborigines have suffered from this to this day.

“Totem & Ore” tells the historical tragedies and fears from the point of view of witnesses of the atomic bombing and atomic bomb tests. Indigenous people, activists, filmmakers, artists, actors, writers, composers, doctors and professors all have their say. Ursula Yovich, a Native American actress, appeals: “There must be no more place in the world for nuclear weapons!”

Totem & Ore received a special recognition from the 2022 International Uranium Film Festival
