The Napandee site will be used to store low- and medium-level nuclear waste.
After years of consultation, Australia’s federal government has announced it plans to go ahead in building a national nuclear waste management facility at Napandee, west of Kimba on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.
The 211-hectare Napandee property has been acquired by the government and will be used to store low- and medium-level nuclear waste.
The property was already selected by the government, but it had to allow an additional 60 days of consultation before it could formally declare the site.

“This is still the right decision at the right site,” resources mMinister Keith Pitt said. “It’s certainly got all of the right geological requirements, we have majority support from the local community and we should never forget that this has taken 40 years and I understand some 16 ministers,” he said.
