WHEN: 8-9AM Thursday 5 December

WHAT: Community leaders and grassroots organisations will gather outside the Parliamentary Inquiry into Nuclear Power Generation in Australia to make clear that South Australia does not need or want nuclear reactors.

Speakers include:

Dr Jim Green, National Nuclear Campaigner, Friends of the Earth

Dr Kate Wylie, Executive Director, Doctors for the Environment

For more information or to arrange interviews please contact: Dr Jim Green, Friends of the Earth, 0417 318 368

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.”

END
