Bill GreenVictoria's Lake Boga gets the planet's nuclear waste dump
June 12th 2009 02:16
The location of the planet's nuclear waste dump has been chosen. The ABC'S CATALYST PROGRAM LAST NIGHT NAMED THE SWAN HILL/ LAKE BOGA AREA AS HAVING THE ONLY GRANITE IN THE WORLD THAT CAN CONTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE. HOW DO THEY KNOW? WELL, THEY DON'T. THEY SAID THE GRANITE HAD ALREADY HELD RADIOACTIVITY FOR PERHAPS MILLIONS OF YEARS THEREFORE IT WILL BE FINE TO TO CREATE THE DUMP WITHIN THE GRANITE.
THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW. The radioactivity that the granite contained was miniscule and was from a small amount of uranium. When uranium was discovered there in the fifties it was such a tiny amount no one bothered mining it.
There is no telling how the granite will react to enormous amounts of nasty waste for no one knows how the human element will effect it. They will short-cut - the way humans do - and store corruptly, and no one is sure how waste artificially applied to the granite will respond. It may be fine to believe in scientists' THEORIES but remember they have all been wrong on the storage of nuclear waste so far.
I published a prophetic novel, THE DEVIL'S TRAP ... set to catch friends (Amazon 2006 on), which claims Australia is going to be the planet's nuclear waste dump. Presciently enough it speculates that the Swan Hill/ Lake Boga area will be the location of choice - the CIA had been monitoring the area by satellite for close to a decade.

Toorak.
I reckon you are a prophet, Bill.
Can Carlton win the premiership this year?
I just think the Collingwood-backed Brumby has run his race.

I know you are right, on the basics of the crystaline nature of granite and the abundance of highly concentrated radioactive fuel rods not being able to assimilate, however, the scientists suggest it is an idea to be investigated and experimented with, not a foregone conclusion.
Of course, there is one sneaky side effect of importing all that radio active stuff, it can be recycled into.... I won't say it out laoud but I'm sure you know aht I am getting at...
Frankly, I would have thought the centre of Oz more suitable, in areas of no rainfall.
However, if the nuclear industry wants to be taken seriously, then they should be requid to develop an radioatively impenetrable, elastic and non corruptable container to keep the waste in, then there would be no problem for nuke nations to keep their own crap in stead of dumping it on our doorstep...like the alleged terrorists... and what of that? They say anyone not found guilty must be deported but not back to thier homeland but to another permanent 'penitentiary'!!
And I thought my dad, uncles and grandfatehrs got rid of the Nazi scumbags.....guess I was wrong eh?
cheers

Now the US minisdter for power (Chu) has wiped money for new dumps in their country off the budget. MTC
