NSW: Safety reports on reactor should be released: Greens
The New South wales Greens say secret reports about the risk of a September 11-styleterrorist strike on Sydney's new nuclear reactor should be released.
Science Minister PETER MCGAURAN today announced the $300 million replacement reactorproject will be built at Lucas Heights, in Sydney's south.
State Greens MP LEE RHIANNON says she's shocked that the approval of the replacementreactor has been so secretive and she says it fails to address the problem of nuclearwaste disposal.
She says the nation's nuclear safety watchdog has kept secret its analysis of the securityand radioactive waste disposal shortcomings of the reactor proposal.
Ms RHIANNON says if the government is confident that the second reactor is safe, thenit should make public all the relevant information.
