The site near the town of Kimba will store low-level waste permanently and intermediate-level waste temporarily. A property at Lyndhurst, also near Kimba, had been in the running but Canavan said the Napandee proposal had more support. “The facility has broad community support in Kimba but I acknowledge there remains opposition, particularly amongst the Barngarla people and their representative group,” he said. Who'd want to dump Australia's nuclear waste here? “The process the federal government has undertaken to find a location for this facility has been a long and arduous one for the Kimba community,” he said.
