| Subject: Nice racket ya got running there: first OZschwitz nuclear waste dump to be located on former senator's land Thu Apr 28, 2016 9:07 pm | |
| Australia's first nuclear waste dump will be located in a remote part of South Australia, on land partly owned by a former Liberal senator.
Resources Minister Josh Frydenberg confirmed the government's intention to acquire 100 hectares of Barndioota station, 130 kilometres north-east of Port Augusta, for the storage of low-level and intermediate radioactive waste.
It followed four months of community consultation and an expert panel assessment of six shortlisted sites around the country, voluntarily nominated by their owners. Three of the potential sites were in SA, while there was one each in New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
