Day 25

“#TradeUnions, #conservationists, #FirstNations groups, #church congregations and #community organisations have launched a coordinated campaign against opposition leader #PeterDutton’s plan for #NuclearReactors across Australia.

The #Coalition has pledged, if elected, to build seven nuclear reactors to replace retiring or retired coal sites naming #Tarong and #Callide in Queensland, #Liddell and #MountPiper in New South Wales, #PortAugusta in South Australia, #LoyYang in Victoria, and #Muja in Western Australia.”

The location of Nuclear power plants is not optimised for safe operation. The Loy Yang location was originally chosen due to coal deposits not geological stability. This area is prone to geological faulting.
