"Compared to countries with nuclear power, Australia generates a relatively small amount of radioactive waste from non-mining sources, but there is still enough radioactive waste to make its management a public issue. Radioactive waste in Australia is generated by research, industry, medical applications, research reactor operation and radiopharmaceutical production. In addition, the uranium mining and milling industry generates several million tonnes per year of tailings containing low levels of long lived radioactivity, which is managed at the mine sites." (Dr. Helen Garnett, Radioactive Waste Management In a Country Which Has No Nuclear Power Program, 2000)
