Family to sue govt over radioactive home

The Age 11 Dec 08 The owner of a Sydney property riddled with radioactive waste says he has no choice but to sue the NSW government after it failed to honour a commitment to buy the home.

Peter Vassiliou bought the Hunters Hill property in 2001, after being told the health department had cleared the site of contamination from a uranium smelter used in the 1910s.

Concerns about radiation levels at homes on Nelson Parade were raised again earlier this year, prompting a parliamentary inquiry…………………..the waterfront home in Sydney’s north is reported to have cost $4.65 million.”Our house is basically unliveable now. We’ve really got nowhere to live,” Mr Vassiliou said
