Fight continues against nuclear dump plan

ABC News 23 Sept 08 There are renewed calls for the Federal Government to scrap its plans to build a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory.

A new storage facility for radioactive waste could be built at the Lucas Heights research reactor in Sydney.

The Federal Government is also considering three sites in the Northern Territory for a long-term waste dump.

Natalie Wasley from the Beyond Nuclear Initiative says there is no need to bring the waste to the NT.

“This is welcome news for the targeted communities because it means that there are other options that the Federal Government can be looking at for the waste, the majority of which is produced at the Lucas Heights reactor,” she said.
