Hon members, the disposal of nuclear waste is a challenge that confronts all of humanity. That is why this technology is to be used in terms of the framework determined by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is a body that looks at the non-proliferation as well as the management of nuclear waste.
The idea is to create a safe and healthy environment, rather than to destroy the earth, as it were. That is the framework that we, as a country, will have to be guided by so that we don't dispose of nuclear waste in a reckless manner, a manner which promotes hazards to the health of humanity. That is why we will have to do this in a more responsible manner.
Solutions are being sought. Many countries that are already utilising nuclear energy are doing lots of research on how to dispose of nuclear waste. We know that some who are irresponsible try to dump it in waters far away from their own continents. That is why this is a matter that must be co-ordinated globally by an agency such as the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The latter part of the question is a variation of the question that I answered in the first instance, the first question posed by the hon member. So, I don't know whether I should simply repeat that answer or not. Thank you.
