Adelaide residents blindsided by decision to store AUKUS nuclear waste at submarine shipyards


Last month legislation quietly passed the federal parliament that will allow for the storage and disposal of nuclear waste at the Adelaide shipyard in Osborne, which is 25 kilometres north-west of the city’s CBD and near the popular seaside suburb of Semaphore and historic Port Adelaide.

Residents said they were not consulted or told of the plan. Construction of nuclear submarines is expected to start in Adelaide by the end of the decade.
