Subject: Pangea proposal for waste disposal in Oz


Dear Radsafers,

I just received a June edition of 'Engineers Australia' with the cover
story:
"Australia deemed to have suitable sites for permanent nuclear waste
disposal"
"The establishment of a disposal site for nuclear waste in Australia is the
subject of an elaborate and detailed proposal. The proponents suggest that
the economic benefits to Australia could amount to about 1% of the country's
gross national product every year. This article presents an outline of the
technical aspects of the proposal."

The full text of the article is available at the following web address:
