Key points: Final report to be made public after commissioner Kevin Scarce briefs Government Report expected to reiterate support for waste dump Bipartisanship by major parties could benefit Greens, political expert says The report was handed down to the State Government on Friday, but its contents will not be made public until later today, after royal commissioner Kevin Scarce briefs State Cabinet. Tentative findings released in February recommended the creation of a high-level waste nuclear dump that would store 138,000 tonnes of spent fuel from around the world, as well as a separate "above-ground interim storage facility". "There was also no mention in the tentative findings report of the royal commission about a fire at a nuclear waste dump in Nevada in the US last year," he said.
