Fed’s nuclear waste dump option: Northern Territory Muckaty station, near Tennant Creek, in the list

According to John Breusch in The Australian Financial Review (28/9/2007, p.20), the federal government was to consider a fourth potential site for a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory after accepting the Northern Land Council’s application to include Muckaty Station, near Tennant Creek, in the list.

$12 million assistance: If Muckaty Station was selected, the government will provide $12 million in assistance to the traditional owners. A final decision will be made next year.
