The nuclear industry inflicts far more damage on itself than its opponents could ever hope to. The mere mention of the easily-preventable Fukushima disaster probably suffices to establish that point, but there are many more examples. To make the task manageable, this snapshot of recent nuclear shenanigans, jiggery-pokery, goings-on and own-goals is restricted to countries that Australia sells uranium to (or plans to sell uranium to).

Beverly protestors suing South Australian government

Anonymous — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:08:38 +0000

Ten people were in the South Australian Supreme Court this week asking for $630,000 in damages for being beaten with batons, locked in shipping containers and sprayed with capsicum spray by the para-military "Star Force" during a peaceful protest at the Beverly Mine site in 2000.
