Nuclear industry has been exposed. Australia should keep the uranium in the ground

New release of world problems throughout the nuclear industry has exposed the dangers and coverups. The waste disposal industry has failed safety regulations and presents greater problems in future. Sellafield is just one example and the British govt is lost as to how it can solve the massive problems at Sellafield.

Concerned,
I'm aware of the recent fire safety excercise that generated some criticisms of procedures by the safety authority but no incidents. I have a long term collegue that works for BNF at Sellafield so some specifics might help expand on your discussion into something meaningfull. Thanks.

If you do not mine and sell the Uranium.
1) What are you going to do with the now thousands of unemployed people? 2) What services are you going to cut to account for the reduced revenue from uranium? 3) How are you going to stop other countries selling uranium - because if we don't sell it someone else will? I have no opinion either way but the consequences for not doing it must be taken into account. Posted by Philip S, Thursday, 3 January 2013 12:49:31 PM

Our government services are paid for by industry. Some we don't like, but it's going to be taken advantage of whether we're part of it or not. We may as well keep as much in country as we can to pay for the government services most take for granted.
It's a necessary evil. Posted by StG, Thursday, 3 January 2013 6:50:22 PM

Our solution should be to lease reactor ready fuel to other countries.
No further fuel unless the depleted fuel is returned. It implies that we do the refining here, reprocessing and storage of the multiple reprocessed residue. From my limited knowledge I believe that after multiple reprocessing the radio activity level is much lower. It will give us an industry that will be an energy rich industry. This will occur at a time of a world energy poor economy. If we leave it too long the economy will not be in a condition to do the job and the finance will have all evaporated.
