Govt accused of secrecy over nuclear power station plans. 04/06/2006. ABC News Online

The Federal Opposition has accused the Prime Minister of keeping secret the potential future sites for nuclear power stations.
An inquiry into nuclear power will be announced within days.
Federal Resources Minister Ian MacFarlane has told the ABC's Insiders program that the details of the nuclear power inquiry will be finalised as early as this week.
"The Prime Minister will bring a proposal forward to Cabinet this week and following that discussion we will then see the best path forward," he said.
Deputy Labor leader Jenny Macklin says most Australians are opposed to nuclear power and uranium enrichment.
"It's only John Howard that's having this debate, it's only John Howard that wants us to think about nuclear power," she said.
Ms Macklin says the Government should state where it would build nuclear power stations.
The Australian Greens has accused the Prime Minister of misjudging community concerns about nuclear power.
The Greens climate change and energy spokesperson, Senator Christine Milne, says John Howard must reveal what he has been discussing with the United States and where reactors and nuclear waste dumps could be set up in Australia.
Senator Milne says it is clear that Mr Howard already has a plan.
"Prime Minister is talking about nuclear power for Australia - he never launches a debate of this kind without having a plan in place," she said.
"It's quite clear the Government has done some preliminary assessment of where sites for reactors might be suitable from their perspective.
"The fact is we wouldn't be having this debate about nuclear if we weren't in the middle of a resources boom."
A leaked Cabinet document from 1997 lists 14 potential sites for a nuclear reactor including Lucas Heights, Goulburn, Holsworthy, and Broken Hill in New South Wales, as well as Adelaide, Darwin, and Perth and Mt Isa in north-west Queensland.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie says he would fight any plans to build a nuclear reactor in the state.
Mr Beattie says he does not want nuclear energy to compete with the coal sector.
"I know it was considered by Federal Cabinet, the State Government does not support it.
"We have the power to block them and we will block them."
