I think the critical issue here is the fact that Australia currently holds some 3,820 cubic metres of low-level radioactive waste and produces some 35 cubic metres of such waste annually. Also, Australia currently holds approximately 435 cubic metres of long-lived intermediate-level waste and produces some 3.5 cubic metres annually.
