From the publication:
Australia at the nuclear crossroads At the University of Chicago in 1942 the Italian nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi succeeded in generating the first controlled chain reaction and the Atomic Age was born. Albert Einstein later declared that this technology changed everything, except our way of thinking. Five decades later the nuclear dream is waking up to reality. The weapons stock piles continue to grow, nuclear waste is overflowing, casualties of radioactivity are on the rise. Yet in Australia, the push is on for more uranium mines, a new nuclear reactor and an international radioactive waste dump. As the threat grows, so does the community resistance and the call for an end to our involvement in this toxic industry, as Dave Sweeney and others report.
