Further research into the modern recycling of spent fuel and isotope separation, in particular the latest breakthroughs in laser and plasma based methods (ALVIS and SILEX).  These offer a range of industrial applications for future advanced technology industries included precious metals like palladium, rhodium and ruthenium. There are many other advanced ideas to supply our future needs and Australians should lead the way rather than adopt old age technology, so let the debate begin, green clean and profitable might just be the future of nuclear power, rather than what the decades of fear and smear campaign have led us to believe. Mark M Aldridge  Independent Candidate for the Legislative Council 2009                  Home | FARM DIRECT MARKETS SA | DODGY ELECTIONS THE TRUTH | SAVING OUR FOOD INDUSTRY 2013 | VOTING 4 ANIMAL WELFARE | VOTE NO TO AUST WITH OUT FARMS | THE RSPCA EXPOSED | DAFWA undermine justice | WHY VOTE FOR AN INDEPENDENT | ABOUT MARK | STANDING UP FOR LOCAL BUSINESS | BILL OF RIGHTS FOR AUSTRALIA | AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION  | MARK BRIEF IDEALS OVERVIEW | THE DEMISE OF AUSSIE RIGHTS | CARBON TAX WHOLE STORY UPDATE  | DEMAND SUPPORT FOR DAIRY FARMS | SA ELECTION FACTS FOR 2010/14 | FLUORIDE THE SIMPLE TRUTH | HEMP / CANNABIS EXPOSED" | WATER PROOFING South Australia | WHERE DOES OUR TAX MONEY GO? | MY POLITICAL HISTORY 1999/2012 | CONTACT ME | DIGNITY FOR THE DISABLED | The Muddied Water Debate | 2013 REWRITE OF ELECTORAL LAW | MY RALLY FOR THE CHILDREN | 24 POLICE STATION IN SALISBURY | WORKCOVER....NO THANKYOU | 2013 REFERENDUM ON COUNCILS | REFERENDUM 2013 VOTE NO DEBATE | On line Gambling | On line security | Aboriginal Soverignty in SA | Regional Aust missing out! | The water story part 2 | DODGY ELECTORAL LAWS | GETUP THE FULL EXPOSE 2011 | Nuclear Power & the future | COUNTRY PEOPLE DESERVE MORE | Family Law reform please | 11/5 election dispute update | SMALL BUSINESS DESERVE MORE | Federal Tax reform figures | Electoral commission affidavit | BILL OF RIGHTS V COMMON LAW | MULTICULTURALISM OR NOT? | Climate Debate the Way Forward | ROAD SAFETY FOR SA | The Carbon Tax explained | AUSTRALIAS DEBT "TOO FAR?" | ROAD SAFETY AND TRAFFIC LAWS | How Labor won Ramsay | RESTORE REGO LABELS? | LABOR ABANDONS INNOVATION  | AUSTRALIA...
