Absurdity of Napandee as nuclear waste dump – impossible to meet safety licence?

2 Jan 21, The safety case should have been begun the moment that the government first set eyes on Napandee.

The worst part is that all of the requirements of the safety case are clearly set out in the various publications by ARPANSA based on the codes and standards of IAEA but they have never been enforced

This is why it will become virtually impossible to licence the Napandee facility as IAEA will require an independent and external (overseas) peer review which should make the government including the minister and ARPANSA shake in their boots

It seems that despite this having been explained to the government it refuses to listen and follow the requirements which will only make it a greater laughing stock internationally

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
