Communities fight radioactive waste dump
AAP
Representatives from six communities earmarked for a possible radioactive waste dump are taking their fight to Parliament House in Canberra.
The government has selected properties in Cortlinye, Pinkawillinie, and Barndioota in South Australia, Hale in the Northern Territory, Sallys Flat in NSW and Oman Ama in Queensland as potential sites for a dump.
The six were chosen from 28 voluntarily nominated sites across the country and will be whittled down to one or two this year after community consultation.
