Alarmist clap-trap.

Pssst!! Have a gander at this:

- Uranium is part of Australia's mining heritage, though only three mines are currently operating. Two more are proposed.

- Australia's uranium reserves are the world's largest, with 24% of the total. Production and exports average about 10,000 tonnes of uranium oxide (8500 tU) per year.

- Australia's uranium is used solely for electricity (Nuclear Power Stations). It is supplied under arrangements which ensure that none finds its way into nuclear weapons.

- In the five years to mid 2006 Australia exported 47,524 tonnes of uranium oxide concentrate with a value of over A$ 2.1 billion.

Well when you consider the following:

1) They are about to expand these operations by 67%;
2) That they boast that it all goes to providing fuel for nuclear reactors;
3) Depleted Uranium munitions are made from enriched uranium fuel rods that have been used up (i.e. depleted).

It could be argued quite successfully that all you are getting is your own stuff returned to you. Dig out Cobber.
