Australia's New Nuclear Ambitions
"Australians are left uninformed about what is really going on" concerning the Howard government's thinking about nuclear energy."But, for speculation, there are a number of indicative straws blowing in the wind", with possibilities including enhanced exports, nuclear waste imports, uranium enrichment, nuclear waste reprocessing, and even nuclear power generation.Broinowski concludes:
"Outlandish as it may seem to many Australians, the challenge may soon be to reassure Australia's neighbours, especially Indonesia, that Mr Howard has no plans to build nuclear weapons in Australia."
