The more I look into what’s happened, the more envious I am about those safely ensconced down under in a nuclear free country.
Well if your referring to Australia that is not exactly true. While we don't have Nuclear Power we do have other nuclear related activities. These do include one operational research reactor (another 2 being decommissioned), 3 (or is it 4 operational) uranium mines, a large chunk of the worlds known uranium deposits, the Maralinga & Monte Bello Islands British Nuclear Test sites, nuclear related medical items and treatments (xrays, CT scans etc). Not to mention a number of coal fired power stations that due to the presence of radioactive isotopes in coal, spew out radioactivity during normal operations.
