'The Labor Party yesterday rejected out of hand the proposition by the former prime minister Bob Hawke that Australia should store the world's nuclear waste and use the income to enhance the environment.'
The party's environment spokesman, Anthony Albanese, said: "It's an absurd proposition going nowhere."
From the article it seems as if this nuclear waste cant be treated, and rather 'millions of years of "deep weathering" meant engineers would have to burrow deep into the earth to find the hard rock needed, significantly increasing costs.'
So no, I don't see any business opportunities arising for TOX from Hawke's vision. They have plenty of other business opportunities however.
