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.

No, move the dumps to Central Australia, where it is geologically stable, and from here ask for consent from the local indigenous communities and investigate if there is any risk to the environment.
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
@9RZ59JM4mos4MO
Yes, if there is no risk to the environment, and there is consent from the local indigenous communities
@9NMPL9V6mos6MO
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment AND only if the local indigenous communities consent
Yes, But only if there is no risk to the environment and have consent from local indigenous communities
@9VCCZPH2mos2MO
Yes but conditionally on the consent of the local indigenous communities and if there is no risk to the environment.
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment, consent from local aboriginal communities, and other local communities
@9TYWBW52mos2MO
yes but first, convert the hazardous waste into a biodegradable substance using water conversion systems or by trying to reincorporate the waste back into the process, e.g. energy. After alternative measures have been taken, try to build storage facilities with consent from indigenous communities.
@9TQ6P2F2mos2MO
Yes, but if there’s from local indigenous communities and other locals, and if there’s no risk to the environment

Yes, but only with consent from local indigenous communities and other local communities, and if there's no risk to the environment
No, Build nuclear waste storage within Federal land instead of Indigenous communities, even with or without their consent
Yes, if there is consent from the peoples living there and the indigenous communities and if there is also no risk factor to the environment or ecosystem.
@9GGL9B61yr1Y
Only if it is agreed upon (more than 60%) by the people living there. Also must pose no risk to inhabitants/environment INCLUDING animals and sacred sites.
@9FT9V521yr1Y
Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment and informed consent from the local indigeneous communities.

@9FCF72K1yr1Y
Both the 3rd and 4th options together.
@9F5P5P71yr1Y
It should be in the ACT so that it is planned, constructed, and maintained at the best standards. The further it is from the Department of Finance, the more the chance of neglect.
@9M6YVS5Independent7mos7MO
Yes instead of buying nuclear subs build a nuclear reactors for our energy needs then we can make our own nuclear subs instead of buying old subs from America
@9LXVFS87mos7MO
It should be established in Central Australia or another geographically stable place. Only if it doesn’t pose any environmental risks and if the local indigenous communities consent to it.
Yes, if only its no risk to the environment and has consent from local indigenous communities (NT and WA have more indigenous communities)

@92CZ2WM3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with permission from local indigenous communities and only if there is no risk to the environment
@92BTL5F3yrs3Y
Ask our Indigenous Australians
@927HYD53yrs3Y
Yes but it should be our own waste, not a dumping ground for other nations.
@926X66S3yrs3Y
Yes, if no environmental risk AND support from local indigenous communities
Focus should be on solar and wind.
@923XP5HAnimal Justice3yrs3Y
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.
@922V2CJ3yrs3Y
Research into reusing some waste and reducing half-life
@922BH8G3yrs3Y
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.
@8ZSH2QC3yrs3Y
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.
@8ZRZTC53yrs3Y
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
@8ZRXGZH3yrs3Y
No, we should build our own nuclear power plant. Not just accept the world's waste
@8ZRJDND3yrs3Y

@8ZNBBYP3yrs3Y
Yes - if consent from local indigenous communities AND no risk to the environmental AND where it is geologically stable
@8ZLMKPH3yrs3Y
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

Move to the most uninhabited place in Australia with the first people's blessing
@8YS3D9N3yrs3Y
Only if we are going to have nuclear power
@8Y7BS493yrs3Y
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.
@8Y5X29L3yrs3Y
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.
Yes but along as there is no environmental risks and the Indigenous community of that area give permission
Yes, if the nuclear waste is produced by Australia.

@8DYS7L64yrs4Y
No, move it to an uninhabited piece of desert and then decide how to use it, or figure out a way to destroy it without harming the environment. We can’t keep storing away waste, we need to do something about it
@8D2H6GM4yrs4Y
So what, we’re gonna have toxic waste in a place with big *** crocs and you wanna put giant chemical vats everywhere? I hope you take responsibility for Godzilla Down Under then.
Yes, if there is no risk to the environment AND if there is consent from the local indigenous community.
Yes, but only if it is safe for the environment and it poses no risk to it, and there must be consent from the local indigenous communities.
Australia should not be a garbage dump for other countries if the nuclear waste is a result of Australia setting up its own nuclear industry then yes
Yes, allowing for more waste, and more controlled disposal of waste, will allow for more nuclear power generation.
@9C4C7NN2yrs2Y
No, and put an end to nuclear technology.
@9BRTY9J2yrs2Y
yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment and there is consent from the local indigenous communities.
