Ziggy the Rocket Scientist heads OzGov Nuke Agency -- Will Lucas Heights become the sister-city of Springfield?
The Federal Government has appointed Ziggy Switkowski as the chairman of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
Mr Switkowski was appointed to the board of ANSTO in 2006 and headed up Prime Minister John Howard's task force into nuclear energy last year.
The federal Science Minister, Julie Bishop, has told Channel Nine that Cabinet approved the appointment on Friday.
"He is a very fine Australian," he said.
"He brings a great intellect and commitment to his work and I believe he will be an ideal choice to head up ANSTO as we move into this period of seriously discussing nuclear power as an alternative to coal."
