Talking Headlines - by Bill Green

 

Talking Headlines - May 2010

Australia's nuclear waste dump on Muckaty station in the Northern Territory will be totally safe given it will be stored in drums similar to forty four gallon fuel drums and raised off the dirt floor in a brand new corrugated iron shed.

That's how we do things in Australia. We saw how the Americans did it on the Columbia River with double-skinned steel containers, ceramic containers, and then taking the water from the soil, removing the radioactivity, and putting it back. Nothing stopped the leaks into the river. Australia's logic is why go to the expense when nothing works?

We don't even use our famous corrugated iron architect, Glen Murcutt, to design the tin sheds.


Please don't think the nuclear waste dumps that will be springing up around Australia in the next few decades will be free of foreign nuclear waste. We have been chosen to take America's waste.

The deal was done in May 2006, the month that the book that predicted it (The Devil's Trap ... set to catch friends, Amazon) was launched.
