Nuclear reactor causing safety concerns for Sydney residents
  
Concerns have been raised about the Commonwealth's proposal to  build 
a new nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney's southern  suburbs.

The New South Wales Emergency Services Minister, Bob Debus, has  told 
the NSW Parliament that questions about safety and waste  disposal 
are not being properly addressed by the Federal  Government. 

He says there should be greater public scrutiny of the project. 

"The NSW Government submission highlighted the many unanswered  
questions and concerns that exist with this project and in  
particular that there was a lack of detail concerning the proposed  
reactor's design and operating details," he said. 

The state and Sutherland council are reviewing the area's local  
disaster plan, in the event of an emergency at the reactor.
