The South Australian Government thoroughly assess mining lease proposals, and through stringent conditions, rigorously upholds the highest standards for monitoring and safety. The enduring strength of this State’s leadership in uranium mining is an insistence on world’s best practice for managing our resources.
The government's role is to build up a positive global reputation that enables SA to attract the world’s leading uranium miners and lead the country in annual production. Uranium produced in South Australia is equivalent to delivering CO2-free power to 20 million people. Yet with more than 80% of Australia’s total uranium resource, there remains considerable scope to expand. It’s not enough that we produce exports from the world’s largest
uranium deposit at Olympic Dam, we want to unlock the full potential of all South Australia’s uranium assets.
To achieve that aim the SA Government needs to challenge the perceptions of unacceptable hazards associated with the uranium industry. Risks associated with nuclear energy are judged harsher than competing energy sources. Access to information and education is the key to challenging these perceptions. Uranium – The Facts is just that, the facts that should be the basis for any informed debate about uranium and South Australia’s current role in the global nuclear fuel cycle.
