AUKUS ‘impact assessment’ report ignores nuclear sub risks in SA

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has released an EPBC Act ‘Impact Assessment Report’ (IAR) to address the environmental impacts of constructing nuclear submarines at Osborne, Port Adelaide. A deluge of documents — the 200-page IAR with 750 pages of appendices — have been released for public consultation running till 17 March. However, the IAR fails to provide answers to community’s right to know on nuclear submarine accident risks and radioactive waste storage facing Port Adelaide.
