Recommendations Endorsed

1. Pursue the simplification of state and federal mining approval requirements for radioactive ores, to deliver a single assessment and approvals process

2. Further enhance the integration and public availability of pre-competitive geophysical data in South Australia

3. Undertake further geophysical surveys in priority areas, where mineral prospectivity is high and available data is limited

4.

Commit to increased, long-term and counter-cyclical investment in programs such as the Plan for Accelerating Exploration (PACE) to encourage and support industry investment in the exploration of greenfield locations

5. Ensure the full costs of decommissioning and remediation with respect to radioactive ore mining projects are secured in advance from miners through associated guarantees

6.

Remove at the state level, and pursue removal of at the federal level, existing prohibitions on the licensing of further processing activities, to enable commercial development of multilateral facilities as part of nuclear fuel leasing arrangements

X

7. Promote and actively support commercialisation strategies for the increased and more efficient use of the cyclotron at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI)

8. Pursue removal at the federal level of existing prohibitions on

clear power generation to allow it to contribute to a low-carbon electricity system, if required

X nu

9.

Promote and collaborate on the development of a comprehensive national energy policy that enables all technologies, including nuclear, to contribute to a reliable, low-carbon electricity network at the lowest possible system cost

10.

Collaborate with the Australian Government to commission expert monitoring and reporting on the commercialisation of new nuclear reactor designs that may offer economic value for nuclear power generation

11.

Pursue the opportunity to establish used nuclear fuel and intermediate level waste storage and disposal facilities in South Australia consistent with the process and principles outlined in Chapter 10 of the [Royal Commission] report

Support further

investigation

12.

Remove the legislative constraint in section 13 of the Nuclear Waste Storage Facility (Prohibition) Act 2000 that would preclude an orderly, detailed and thorough analysis and discussion of the opportunity to establ

X ish such facilities in South Australia.

Constructing a Global Technology Assessment

Worldwide simultaneous effects of technologies, international challenges such as climate change as well as shifting relationships between science and society call for approaches that can address these issues on a global level. This book examines the potential of Technology Assessment (TA), as an until now mainly national and Western concept, to take on this global level and provide answers to these pressing questions. With a unique array of countries from across the world, this book gives in-depth insights from experts regarding TA-like activities in China, Russia, India, Australia as well as Europe including perspectives on future needs and develop-ments. In this way, it represents a starting point to begin thinking about and constructing TA as a common global prospective and in a comprehensive way, including potentials as well as limits of a global Technology Assessment.
