Nuclear waste
Sir, — Through your column I would like to express my total disapproval of American nuclear waste being stored on Palmyra Island in the Pacific. Why should we have their dangerous waste dumped on outdoorstep? Surely, if there is a danger that this nuclear waste material could be used by other countries to make bombs, it should be kept close at hand in their own country in order to ensure that this does not happen. I do not feel that New Zealand should bend over backwards to help the United States with its nuclear waste problem, and am sure many other New Zealanders feel the same way. — Yours, etc.,
COLLENE COLEMAN, Reefton.
July 8, 1980.
