From the publication:
Is peaceful nuclear power possible? Or is the link with nuclear weapons inevitable? How can the destruction and disaster of a nuclear war be avoided? Increasingly within Australia and around the world, the community is voicing concern about these questions. What is Australia's role as a supplier of uranium? Does our uranium contribute to the spread of nuclear arms and the threat of nuclear war, or, reduce the risks? This report of the Independent Inquiry into the consequences of our uranium mining is the first community inquiry of its kind in the world. It considers the nuclear dilemma: the effects of nuclear war; problems of the fuel cycle, including environmental, occupational and waste disposal hazards; the political economy of nuclear energy and the problem of controlling the build-up of nuclear arsenals. Australia still has a choice. This book puts forward recommendations for positive ways in which Australians can help reduce the risks. Its factual content and treatment of the controversial aspects of nuclear energy makes it an important reference for all concerned individuals seeking a deeper understanding of nuclear issues.
