AUKUS Investigated 05: Radioactive ripples

Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald

AUKUS doesn't only affect us. From the time that it was announced there were mixed reactions from our neighbours - some who wanted in, and some who thought it unwise and provocative. A big part of the fear - both regionally and within Australia - concerns the nuclear question. As the first non-nuclear country to ever acquire a nuclear weapon, can we confident of our own safety? And what happens to the waste that will remain dangerous for generations of Australian to come?
