Australians Ready To Fight Govt. Plan to Reclassify Rad Waste for Landfills

摘要

Australian citizens are up in arms about a government plan to reclassify more than 5,000 tons of radioactive waste so it can be dug up from a wealthy Sydney suburb, trucked across the city and discarded in landfills near Penrith.rnThe new classification of "restricted solid waste" allows the government, which has long wrestled with what to do with the radioactive site, to transport waste to western suburbs at Kemps Creek. Sealed trucks are expected to begin moving the debris across the city beginning early next year.
