Uranium Mining, Processing and Nuclear Energy Review – UMPNER

• DEAD LINK SINCE THE HOWARD GOVERNMENT WAS DEFEATED: <www.pmc.gov.au/umpner/index.cfm> – Howard government-appointed panel headed by Ziggy Switkowski, report is pro-uranium and pro-nuclear-power but argues against expansion into other facets of the nuclear fuel cycle – enrichment, reprocessing, hosting an international nuclear waste dump

EnergyScience Coalition

• formed to counter the Switkowski panel. Fact sheets on many nuclear issues <www.energyscience.org.au>
