US, UK may get opportunity to send nuclear waste to Australia under AUKUS deal

Washington, Apr 2 (UNI) The United States and the United Kingdom may get an opportunity to send nuclear waste to Australia under the AUKUS deal, while the two nations themselves have difficulty disposing of radioactive materials due to a lack of relevant facilities, The Guardian reported, citing a parliamentary inquiry into nuclear safety legislation.

There are two draft bills subject to the Australian upper house's inquiry. The first one is a naval nuclear power safety bill presented by the Australian government in November 2023. The document provides for setting up a nuclear safety regulator and building nuclear propulsion facilities, but also those for storing or disposing of radioactive material from AUKUS submarines, the newspaper reported on Monday. The second bill, also submitted in November, relates to a license issuance mechanism for the regulator.
