Listen to Radio 3CR’s Radioactive Show
Radio 3CR’s Radioactive Show has delved into how the Port of Melbourne Corporation avoided testing Yarra sediments for radionuclides, in spite of a long history of Uranium processing at the then CSIRO research laboratories at 506 Lorimer Port Melbourne adjacent to the Yarra.
