  • The long-term solution is to advance the technology so that all nuclear waste and decommissioned nuclear weapons can be used as fuel until entirely depleted. This is on the near horizon and would eliminate the existing nuclear waste while providing electricity. The issue of further uranium mining is another matter. Its better to move to renewable energy sources and get off fossil fuels (uranium included) as much as possible until fusion can be made to work ( along way off I'm afraid).

  • Interesting how the incentive of a parliamentary pension can entice a particular type of person to drop their principles and effectively bat for the other team. He must cringe now when he sees this sort of footage.

  • . . . just another positive diagnostic result showing leukemia, breast cancer, infertilty, sterility or a birth defect . . .

  • When scientists and many of the world's developed countries finally realized and admitted that DDT and other artificialy created organic compounds had such nightmarish outcomes when introduced into the food chain they immediately stopped using it. The nuclear waste already in our atmospher and ground water may be far worse a problem than these.The most frightening thing about these tailings concentrated or diffuse is that thier biotic destruction leaves no trace

  • It is a very irresponsible thing to do that considers only the short term gains for the powers that be.There is no second chance with this stuff and you know that in your heart Peter.If there was ever a time for you to make a stand this is it.Your seem intellegent so should understand how insidious and discretly these unstable isotopes enter our environment.

  • So you reluctantly green light the opening of our 4th uranium mine due to policy pressure from your new ALP buddies.Climate change is arguably reversable if we change our way of living, the consequences of distributing uranium is not.
