MARALINGA

By ALAN PARKINSON

Australia's Nuclear Waste Cover-up

In April 2000, a $108 million clean-up of the former British A-bomb test site in outback South Australia was being wound-up. It was declared a success and the Maralinga Tjarutja people were reassured that it would be safe to move back onto their lands. The clean-up was declared a world-first, the biggest and most successful ever, and world best practice.

Alan Parkinson was the official adviser to the Maralinga project, but after he voiced his concerns about the dangers of the shortcuts that were being taken, he was removed from the project and told to be quiet. Refusing to be silenced, Alan has been fighting for an inquiry for six years. This is his story -- the true story of a deadly cover-up in the Australian outback.
