The proposed Jabiluka uranium mine is situated in the
heart of Kakadu national park, one of the most beautiful and diverse areas of Australia’s
World Heritage, and is strongly opposed by the Mirrar people, traditional land owners of
the area.
The aim of this website is to convey information about the Jabiluka Uranium Mine Campaign
and the associated issues to a broad national and international audience. The
developers involved with the construction of the website are open-minded in its
development and will accept advice and comments on the information content and
architecture.
SOME FACTS ABOUT URANIUM: About 80% of the radioactivity of uranium ore
remains in the ‘tailings’, the mining waste. These tailings remain deadly for some
25 billion years. (Jabiluka alone will produce over 20 million tonnes of tailings.)
The only two uses for uranium are nuclear power and nuclear weapons. There is no
safe method of containing the waste from nuclear power, much of which remains highly
radioactive for billions of years. Nuclear weapons are the most destructive
technology known to mankind. Since July 1945 there have been 2,054 nuclear tests
across the world, including the most recent tests by India and Pakistan. This is the
equivalent of one test occurring somewhere in the world every 9.4 days in the last 53
years. Scientists estimate the total yield of all atmospheric nuclear tests is 438
megatons. This is the equivalent of 30,000 Hiroshima size bombs released to the
atmosphere in the last 53 years or on average one bomb being exploded every 12 hours.
