YOUR SAY
As Australia is one of the world's largest suppliers of uranium for nuclear power, should it be obliged to store the radioactive waste from other countries? Should Australia accept nuclear waste from uranium-export countries?
Opinion polls show that many more Australians oppose the establishment of a nuclear power industry than support it, though the gap is closing slightly. What's your view? Do you support nuclear power in Australia? Should Australia go nuclear?
