I object to Mr Dutton's plan to build nuclear reactors near Lake Macquarie or in the Hunter Valley.
Nuclear reactors generate various radioactive gases and particulates which they need to vent into the atmosphere to relieve pressure built up inside the reactor containment vessel. All such gases are carcinogenic radionuclides, including Strontium-90, Caesium-137, Iodine-131, Carbon-14 and Tritium, and they are a serious environmental and health risk for people living within 50 kilometres of nuclear plants.
