SA once again targeted for nuclear waste dump : Comments
By Anica Niepraschk, published 2/5/2016The Flinders Ranges site was nominated by Grant Chapman but he has precious little connection to the land. Conversely, the land has been precious to Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners for millennia.

Note this facility is for hospital gloves and the like stored above ground. I presume the canisters of vitrified material stored in a shed at Lucas Heights will go an underground facility if it is ever built. Note the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission whose report comes out May 6 has recommended a high level repository for SA. That high level site might have to be near Woomera which is the other side of Lake Torrens from the proposed intermediate level facility.
That's if high level waste ever eventuates. Australia is a coal addicted country and forces like indigenous opposition are helping keep it that way.
