Anti-nuclear movement in Australia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anti-nuclear movement in Australia
Nuclear weapons testing, uranium mining and export, and nuclear power have often been the subject of public debate in Australia, and the anti-nuclear movement in Australia has a long history. Its origins date back to the 1972–73 debate over French nuclear testing in the Pacific and the 1976–77 debate about uranium mining in Australia.〔Green, Jim (26 August 1998). (Australia's anti-nuclear movement: a short history ) ''Green Left Online''. Retrieved 15 December 2010.〕〔Koutsoukis, Jason (25 November 2007). (Rudd romps to historic win ) ''The Age''. Retrieved 15 December 2010.〕 Several groups specifically concerned with nuclear issues were established in the mid-1970s, including the Movement Against Uranium Mining and Campaign Against Nuclear Energy (CANE), cooperating with other environmental groups such as Friends of the Earth and the Australian Conservation Foundation.〔McLeod, Roy (1995). "Resistance to Nuclear Technology: Optimists, Opportunists and Opposition in Australian Nuclear History" in Martin Bauer (ed) ''Resistance to New Technology'', Cambridge University Press, pp. 171–173.〕〔 The movement suffered a setback in 1983 when the newly elected Labor Government failed to implement its stated policy of stopping uranium mining.〔Friends of the Earth (Canberra) (January 1984). (Strategy against nuclear power )〕 But by the late 1980s, the price of uranium had fallen, the costs of nuclear power had risen, and the anti-nuclear movement seemed to have won its case; CANE was disbanded in 1988.〔McLeod, Roy (1995). "Resistance to Nuclear Technology: Optimists, Opportunists and Opposition in Australian Nuclear History" in Martin Bauer (ed) ''Resistance to New Technology'', Cambridge University Press, pp. 175–177.〕 About 2003, proponents of nuclear power advocated it as a solution to global warming and the Australian government began taking an interest. Anti-nuclear campaigners and some scientists in Australia argued that nuclear power could not significantly substitute for other power sources, and that uranium mining itself could become a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.〔〔 As of 2014, Australia has no nuclear power stations but Prime Minister Tony Abbott supports nuclear power for Australia.〔Lewis, Steve and Kerr, Joseph (30 December 2006). (Support for nuclear power falls ) ''The Australian''.〕 As of 2015, Australia has five uranium mines, four of which are located in South Australia. Olympic Dam (Roxby Downs) is a large underground mine, Beverley, Four Mile and Honeymoon are in-situ leach mines and Ranger in an open pit mine in the Northern Territory.〔(Work begins on Honeymoon uranium mine ) (24 April 2009), ''ABC News''. Retrieved 15 December 2010.〕 Australia has no nuclear weapons. ==History==
