Disposing of low-level nuclear waste, mostly from medical treatment, has become an important issue. In 2009, the Australian government received a consultant’s report that examined Muckaty Station as one of four possible sites for a nuclear waste facility in the Northern Territory. Land owners near Muckaty station opposed the plan in fear that the dumped waste would destroy their lands and environment.

Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment and there is consent from local indigenous communities
Yes, if only its no risk to the environment and has consent from local indigenous communities (NT and WA have more indigenous communities)
No, Build nuclear waste storage within Federal land instead of Indigenous communities, even with or without their consent
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment & if there is consent from the local indigenous communities
Yes, only if there is no risk to communities and the environment and the local indigenous communities consent to it
@92CZ2WM2yrs2Y
Yes, but only with permission from local indigenous communities and only if there is no risk to the environment
@92BTL5F2yrs2Y
Ask our Indigenous Australians
@927HYD52yrs2Y
Yes but it should be our own waste, not a dumping ground for other nations.
@926X66S2yrs2Y
Yes, if no environmental risk AND support from local indigenous communities
Focus should be on solar and wind.
@923XP5HAnimal Justice2yrs2Y
No, give the nuclear waste to Elon and rocket the waste into the sun or to the moon.. It's a baron uninhabitable radiated hell hole already.
@922V2CJ2yrs2Y
Research into reusing some waste and reducing half-life
@922BH8G2yrs2Y
No, All land is indigenous land which we need to respect and should not be polluted with nuclear waste.
Not enough information known
No, move the dumps to Central Australia with consent from the local indigenous communities as it is geologically stable
Only if the waste is from an Australian reactor.
@8ZSH2QC2yrs2Y
Irrelevant live in a different state
Next to Roxby Downs along with Gen IV waste consuming reactors
move the dumps to Central Australia where it is geologically stable, if there is consent from the local indigenous communities but only if there is no risk to the environment
Yes, if there is no environmental destruction or risk and that the local indigenous communities consent.
@8ZRZTC52yrs2Y
Yes - if consent from local indigenous communities AND no risk to the environmental AND where it is geologically stable AND ONLY if it’s Australia’s waste
@8ZRXGZH2yrs2Y
No, we should build our own nuclear power plant. Not just accept the world's waste
@8ZRJDND2yrs2Y
Yes, if there is consent from the local community.
No, build the site in a region that has lessened environmental damage and with approval from all residents
@8ZPWDGP2yrs2Y
Yes but we should begin our own nuclear research and catch up with the world
@8ZNMKB62yrs2Y
What’s the purpose of that?
@8ZNBBYP2yrs2Y
Yes - if consent from local indigenous communities AND no risk to the environmental AND where it is geologically stable
@8ZLMKPH2yrs2Y
It doesn't matter where it is located (Northern Territory. Central Australia, etc etc) as long as it is stored safely, correctly & & never any harm to the environment
i dont have any opinions on this situation
Yes, No risk to environment and people, as well as allowed by the local indigenous communities If not placed in central australia
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment and the local indigenous communities agree to it
Have not done enough research
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment *and* there is consent from the local indigenous communities
Only if no risk to environment and with local indigenous communities consent
only if we can also use nuclear power
Yes, as long as there is both consent from indigenous communities as well as no environmental risks
@8Z56F7R2yrs2Y
Yes, only if there is no risk to the environment and there is consent from the local indigenous communities/other communities in range.
Yes, if there is consent from the local indigenous communities AND there is no risk to the environment
@8Z2WTMY2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it is ecologically sound, indigenous communities agree, and profit from waste disposal fees goes back to benefit the local community.
Move to the most uninhabited place in Australia with the first people's blessing
@8YS3D9N2yrs2Y
Only if we are going to have nuclear power
@8Y7BS492yrs2Y
Put it in a rocket and fire it into the Sun for disposal....rockets are now cheap when we look at the number of satellites we have put into orbit this is doable...every rocket load of atomic waste disposed of by the Sun is permanently gone and will add to the longevity of the Sun as fuel for future generations.
@8Y5X29L2yrs2Y
Have the dump in a area inhabited by humans, make sure it cannot affect the wildlife and earth, and with permission from the correct indigenous group
If there is consent and no risk to the environment
No, mandate the use of closed cycle nuclear fission and subsidise research into waste re-use and nuclear fusion.
No, we need to phase out nuclear energy and energy production plants that create hazardous unmanageable waste for better alternatives
No, we need to phase out nuclear energy and energy production plants that create hazardous unmanageable waste
No I dont believe in any use of nuclear energy
I don't support nuclear energy.
