The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) produces thousands of doses of nuclear medicine each week, mainly from its research reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney. These isotopes are used in medical diagnosis, treatment and pain relief. If you’ve ever had a scan for cancer or heart disease, you’ve likely benefited from the work of ANSTO. However, ANSTO recognises it faces a problem with its radioactive waste. Running out of space, ANSTO is spending $60m on new temporary storage at Lucas Heights, as well as $9.5m in operating expenses this financial year alone just to manage the radioactive waste it stores on-site. Successive commonwealth governments have been looking for a final disposal solution to the low-level radioactive waste (LLW) issue for more than 50 years. More than $111m was spent on the proposal for a permanent repository at Kimba, in South Australia, before the project was abandoned last year. Notwithstanding, the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency still retains a budget of more than $400m for a potential future site. The good news is there is a solution. Since Tellus gained its licence to receive LLW at Sandy Ridge in January last year, we have safely and permanently disposed of around 6,000 cubic metres of LLW. Sandy Ridge could receive much of the waste currently stored by ANSTO now. It’s little wonder Jenny Ware MP, whose federal seat of Hughes includes Lucas Heights, is concerned at the problem of ANSTO’s backlog of LLW. Last week she raised the issue in Question Time. https://lnkd.in/gsG7xFGZ And in his response, the Prime Minister is spot-on in remarking that the issue of ANSTO’s radioactive waste “has not been landed by this Parliament”. #radioactivewaste #medicalisotopes #nuclearmedicine #hazardouswaste
In Question Time this week, I asked the Prime Minister about the future storage of medical nuclear waste in Australia. Not only did the PM fail to answer the question, but he also failed to display an understanding of our local area and the importance of our nuclear medicine industry and the lifesaving work carried out at Lucas Heights.

This workshop will address a potential radiation incident caused by the war in Ukraine, from an interdisciplinary approach of medical, nuclear safety and security, nuclear research, geostrategic and population's resilience perspectives. The workshop will also address the key role played by NATO in identifying new solutions for stabilizing the region, while also focusing on the emergency preparedness in order to ensure that adequate capabilities and capacity are in place which can be mobilized in response to a radiation emergency.
