The Nuclear Impasse - 45min documentary

[racenemo]

Great idea, import Fukushima in your outback

[peru2246]

actually its not bad if stored right in the us we got a mountain were making into a waste storage place.

[thebattleforX9]

how wondefuly hipocritical-australia exports huge amounts of uranium but won't accept responsibility (when it easily can) for the waste

[eacao]

fuck off. Dont u dare come here to australia bringing ur U239! at 8:20 he says that nuclear waste is a world problem and aus is part of the world. No shit but its not a world problem is the problem of those countries that use fission. Australia was smart enough not to use it because of the radioactive waste. Can't believe any1 wants to have Aus as a fucking nuclear waste dump. Stay the fuck away from my country! also adventurekalu, aboriginals havnt lived in aus for that long

[adventurekalu]

disapointed how non of the Pangia or 4corners never interviewed a Aboriginal traditional land owner to see their view. afer all they have looked after this land 4 millions of years . giving all the Australian the land to make greedy money 4 free...

[allosauras]

Pangea has backing and influence from everyone in the world except Australia.

Countries should deal with their own waste instead of giving it to Australia.

It doesnt matter if the waste site is 500m underground. The waste will eventually leech out and kill Australian people.

[allosauras]

@JD17555Jess You are a fucking retard.

I doesn't matter whether it leeks or not, Why should Australia be punished. Why should our beautiful outback be turned into another chernobyl, piparat or Hiroshima/ Nagasaki?

It can easily leak you dumbfuck

The Russians built a massive sarcophagus around chernobyl and it is leaking. They designed the sarcophagus to contain radiation and nuclear materials for 30 years and it started leaking less then 10 years after being built.

[JD17555Jess]

@allosauras

Please do not call me those words or you will be reported. Chernobyl was poorly built. Unlike the American reators, Chernobyl's reactor wasn't contained in a concrete dome. Three Mile Islands was, so when that exploded it was contained and dealt with, and is reactor one is still running. Chernobyl didn't, so it leaked.

I respect your decision, allosauras. I didn't indend to cause any harm. If you think that the core reacor will leak, that's your decision. Thanks =)

[allosauras]

@JD17555Jess Firstly I apologise for the language. I just get really pissed off when people want to make my country into a nuclear waste dump.

How would you feel if the entire world wanted to dump the most toxic poison on the planet in your backyard?

My point is Pangea and the media/ government have told Australians NOTHING about this. If i didnt look at the utube video I would have no idea about what was happening.

It is very unethical to do what they are doing

[allosauras]

@JD17555Jess The fact is that there are 22 MILLION Australians here that have no idea that their country is going to become a toxic dump.

The only reason a few people know is by accident.

Is it fair that these companies can decide to dump the world's most toxic waste here without telling anyone? Why is it Australian's do not have the right to know what is going to happen in their own country?

There has been NO news reports or advertasements warning Australians of this.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.

[allosauras]

@JD17555Jess Here is the TRUTH about how long radioactive waste will be with us.

'Some radioactive species have half-lives longer than one million years'

'Certain radioactive elements (such as plutonium-239) in “spent” fuel will remain hazardous to humans and other creatures for hundreds of thousands of years. Other radioisotopes remain hazardous for millions of years'.

This Toxic Waste will be in our country for 'MILLIONS' of years and it WILL leak sooner or later.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

So this is why they really took our guns away. Well some used the buy back to get better guns and if they try this shit they may just find out who those people are.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Evil Immoral & dangerous

EVIL:If those who gained benifit from an industry that promises one day to cause human genetic mutation & extinction are not made to live with the consiquences & costs then how will a non poluting alternative ever become economically viable.

IMMORAL:Endangering innocent people & future generations with the worst waste mankind has ever made.

DANGEROUS:Transporting millions of tons over periods of hundreds years half way across the world, accident & terrorists target.

[ToiletGreece]

Ironically... Australia will make the world a safer place? Except for... Australia.

This is pathetic. Dump this shit elsewhere. Like Mars or something

[bonecrime]

And you think it's safer to strap nuclear waste to a rocket and shoot that into space?

[CrudeDude]

Yeah, let's shoot it into space...I KNOW! We'll use The Shuttle! It NEVER blows up....right?

(idiot)

[ToiletGreece]

Let's bury it in the land of the "free". How's that sound buddy.

[CrudeDude]

Face it. You're owned, moron. Mars. Check out how much N.waste there is. What a dolt.

[ToiletGreece]

Well if you had the brain capacity to realise what I had originally said was a joke. Was also said 4 months ago but it doesn't surprise me that someone from the land of the ignorant would say something like that.

[landerson1984]

Should dump it in your own backyard, typical America wants to dump its shit on someone else! America has huge deserts to dump their own waste.

Australia is a beautiful country and isnt the worlds toilet.. This would only make Australia a future target for terrorists and would then become the worlds biggest time bomb! not to mention the nightmare and risk to transport all these weapons and waste across the globe.

[SSrb1099]

Nuclear waste is so small in volume and handled so safely. They're worried about nothing.

[drright71]

The solution is reprocessing and usage, not burial.

[gallagherregan]

im sure they have tryed,
