Neither the public nor politicians are behind Bob Hawke's proposal to make Australia the world's nuclear waste dump. TEN years ago, an American research company called Pangea Resources, which was funded by international nuclear industries, developed a top-secret research project identifying possible sites for a high-level nuclear waste dump. Pangea chose Australia as its favoured option. Australia had all the right elements: the perfect geography to store nuclear waste, stable countryside in remote Western and South Australia and lots of isolated places. It had a strong economy and the required political stability. Pangea envisaged the $6 billion high-level storage facility as a commercial enterprise, accepting waste from foreign nuclear reactors and possibly from weapons. The site would have its own purpose-built rail link and port facility and waste would be moved on a fleet of ships built for the purpose.
