Western Australia encompasses a third of the area of the Australian continent. It is the last frontier for the nuclear industry – no uranium mines have ever gone into full production in Western Australia.

A major exploration boom is now under way across Western Australia, prompted by the speculation of the surging price of uranium and a co-ordinated attempt by the industry to paint itself as the saviour of climate change.
