NWAA Submission to the National Policy Statements for Energy Infrastructure Consultation

Submission to the consultation on the draft National Policy Statements (NPS) on Energy Infrastructure. This submission examines the evidence for the Government’s assertion that effective arrangements will exist for waste produced by new reactors. It concludes that the Government’s assetion “…that effective arrangements will exist to manage and dispose of the waste that will be produced from new nuclear power stations” is not supported by the evidence. The Nuclear NPS is, therefore, not “fit for purpose”.
