A.R.A. advised to reject irradiation
PA Auckland Auckland. Regional Authority officers will recommend that an objection be filed against the application for an irradiation plant in Mangere on the ground that it would pose an unnecessary risk in South Auckland. . Their recommendation to a meeting of the A.R.A.’s planning committee later this month would be that the plant is unnecessary because of alternative technology available for sterilisation. A principal planner with the A.R.A., Dr Graeme Campbell, said
recently the authority was looking at the irradiation project as objectively as possible. This entailed acquainting staff with irradiation techniques. One staff member will travel to Palmerston North later this month to attend a conference of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science, where several sessions will be devoted to irradiation and food irradiation. Objections to the application by Ansell Steritech, Ltd, for the irradiation plant close on February 11.
