Pangea Resources .. Perhaps the most sinister corporate and nuclear threat Australia has ever faced.
Pangea Resources is an American company established to promote, design, build and operate a high-level waste disposal site in Australia. They are [my add: WERE, maybe .. lol] deadly serious, and are building a high-level support network of politicians, academics and industry big-wigs.
It is known that David Pentz was making presentations to Australian investors as early as 1992 in Australia, concerning the Pangea proposal. This included WMC and other mining companies. Presumably this includes other members of the Synroc Study Group such as ERA, (then) CRA, BHP and ANSTO.
Pangea are majority owned by UK government-owned British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL; 70%), consulting engineers Golder Associates (Canadian; 15%) and the Swiss government's NAGRA (15%).
Enterra Holdings Ltd, based in Canada, is the parent company of Golder Associates, an international geotechnical engineering company, who employ over 1,800 personnel in more than 75 offices throughout the world. Pangea was created specifically to explore the global repository concept and is a spin-off from Golder Associates. They have much experience in the world pushing radioactive waste repositories that get rejected, including the infamous failure at Nirex in the UK. In fact, it was the failure of these sites which prompted members of Golders, such as David Pentz, to form Pangea. http://www.sea-us.org.au/wastedump/yanquigohome.html
All this is a bit outdated i guess.
Status of the Pangea International Repository Feasibility Studies C. Mccombie and M. Kurzeme
The potential technical, scientific, safety, security, environmental and economic advantages of implementation of deep geologic repositories for the disposal of nuclear waste within an international framework were outlined in papers from the IAEA and from the Pangea organization over the past three years. Of increasing importance are the security and non-proliferation benefits which could result from having closely supervised centralized repositories for declared surplus fissile materials resulting from disarmament activities in nuclear weapon states. The Pangea concept is for repositories sited on technical and safety grounds independent of national boundaries. The sites would be in geologic formations situated in flat, stable, arid regions, where the convincing demonstration of long-term safety should be easier to achieve. Pangea identified several potential host regions of the world which warrant further investigation of their suitability for an international repository. As yet a formal feasibility study has been initiated only in Australia. This was allocated first priority due to the vastness of the region with potentially suitable geology, also because of its stable governmental system, its strong environmental record and non-proliferation credentials. Australia also has a strong anti-nuclear movement, no nuclear power plants, but an important uranium mining industry. Hence progress to date in Australia has been mixed. Political resistance has culminated in legislation in Western Australia prohibiting the construction and operation of a repository for the disposal of imported nuclear waste, unless approved by both houses of the WA Parliament. Within the scientific, technical and business communities, there has been much greater readiness to objectively weigh up the pros and cons of hosting an international disposal facility. The public reaction has been mixed, with some individuals and communities strongly opposing the concept whilst others are prepared to seek information before judging the case on its merits. Meanwhile, on the world stage, the generic concept of international disposal facilities continues to be elaborated . including defining better the roles which such facilities could play in management and disposition of surplus weapons material. In addition contacts are being strengthened with potential users of such facilities and actions being taken to intensify Pangea's activities in other countries identified as having potential host regions for a high-isolation repository of the type proposed by Pangea. http://www.mrs.org/s_mrs/sec_subscribe.asp?CID=2803&DID=181948&action=detail
