Socialist Alliance Policy

  • No new nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights (or anywhere) and shut down the HIFAR reactor currently operating; invest in cleaner, safer technologies such as cyclotrons.
  • No dumping of radioactive waste; waste producers to manage their own waste in secure, monitored facilities at their own expense.
  • No nuclear waste dump for international commercial use in Australia;
  • Close the operating uranium mines (Ranger, Roxby Downs, Beverley) and no new mines to be approved.
  • No Australian support for the US government's missile 'defence' program and renewed, active support for non-proliferation agreements in place.
  • No nuclear power plants.
