They've resuscitated the plan for South Australia as the world's nuclear waste dump

Nathan Paine Chief Commercial Officer at the Property Council of Australia said: "The development of a domestic nuclear power sector could turn us into the "Dubai of Asia". You'd almost be able to give every South Australian ... when they turn 18, a cheque for $50,000 and a house"

Chris Burns, Rundle Mall Management Authority chairman said "What we've got unique resources for in this state are for nuclear energy... Never sell it, only lease it and bring it back here to bury it. I think that's the industry for the state."

I don't know why this diverse group of people is so passionately in favour of the full nuclear power cycle and radioactive waste dumping for South Australia. I can only suppose that they see South Australia as an economically depressed State, and therefore envisage the nuclear developments as some kind of financial bonanza for the State.

I ponder that some academics might get a kind of glorious fame, in being Australia's only climate "experts" who advocate nuclear power.

It distresses me that only one of people mentioned has any expertise in health and ionising radiation, nor in ecology. That person is Professor Pamela Sykes,who has been co-opted by the USA Department of Energy to try to prove how healthy low dose radiation is.
