Dr Jim Green, National Nuclear Campaigner with Friends of the Earth said:
“Port Augusta is one of the sites being targeted for nuclear reactors by the Federal Coalition. And wherever the reactors are built, there will be more pressure for nuclear waste dumping in SA.
Nuclear reactors are too slow to build, too dangerous to manage and too expensive to bring down our energy bills. Nuclear reactors are a fantasy, not a solution to reduce climate pollution or the cost of living.”
