Talk:British nuclear tests at Maralinga

closer to the transcontinental railway line at Watson and in a seperate prohibited area, was Maralinga" and "The atomic tests were not conducted under the joint project but under a seperate agreement. The distinction, particularly before the foundation of Maralinga permanent test range, was in practice a hazy one." The boundary of the Woomera Prohibited Area has been changed a number of times during its history and in each instance the amendment was published in the Commonwealth Gazette and a "Plan" of the area deposited with the South Australian State Lands Department. Some of these "Plans" dependant on their date show the Maralinga Prohibited Area and the Woomera Prohibited Area to be seperate but adjoining Prohibited Areas. The file 62/5430 Extension of Aboriginal Reserves in the Maralinga Proibited Area was raised in August 1962 and it contains two drawings detailing that there are two distinct Prohibited Areas. This file is available to the public on the National Archives of Australia website. The last of the Maralinga Prohibited Area known as Section 400 has recently been handed back to the traditional owners of the area. The boundary of the Woomera Prohibited Area in this region was unclear as in a number of publications it appears to divide Section 400 into two areas (approximately two thirds north and one third south)of the east west boundary. I would suggest that the "Plan" deposited with the South Australian State Lands Department would need to be viewed to determine the location of the boundary and when it was changed.
1887:"Two reports on the Australian test participants have been published by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The first, "Dosimetry" concluded "Overall, the doses received by Australian participants were small. ... Only 4% of participants received more than the current Australian annual dose limit for occupationally exposed persons (20 mSv)". The highest doses were to aircrew flying through mushroom clouds, and to those entering contaminated areas soon after the detonations. The second report "Mortality and Cancer Incidence" found that the overall death rate of test participants was not increased above that of the general Australian population. Cancer rates were however increased, but there was no indication that this was due to radiation: that is, those exposed to higher levels of radiation did not have higher cancer rates than those with low or no exposure." 1485:
in the days since they were originally placed. Each time I did so, I performed a diff between the current version and the version that I put up in the previous cycle; all corrections were then either entered into the database or corrected in the programming, as appropriate. As may be guessed, the programming corrections were frequent to start out as suggestions about the table formatting were raised, and most incorporated. I have not made judgements on the "usefulness" of corrections; all have been incorporated, or I have communicated directly with the editor to settle the matter. In fact it was in pursuing such a correction that this matter came up.

Australians flew through the mushroom clouds and some marched through contaminated areas. But the DVA report discusses this, and such groups are among the 4% who received more than 20mSv. Secondly that "radioactive rain" fell in Queensland and particularly Brisbane. It is well known that there was fallout over large areas of Australia (it is mentioned in para 2 under operation Buffalo above), but it was very low level, and crucially, has nothing to do with the exposure of those who were at Maralinga (or the other test sites).

Australian population. There was an increase in cancer rates, but there was no relationship with radiation exposure: that is the cancer rate amongst those most exposed was no more than that of those with little or no exposure. Instead there is confusing statement that 30% of British participants had died in their 50's from cancer. This has no proper reference: the reference given is to a newspaper article reporting the claim by one of the lawyers in a trial.

the proviso that the British Government made a significant contribution to the cost of the project. Late in 1991, Australia’s claims were put to the British Government both at the Ministerial and technical levels. In June 1993 a UK ex-gratis offer amounting to £UK 20 million for settlement of Australia’s claims against the British nuclear program in Australia was accepted.

Nice work. Interesting observation about the relative positions. I should think that this isn't a major problem, as long as we cite what source we use and, ideally, mention the differences in a footnote. I'd be inclined to trust the Royal Commission's data, since they were able to get the UK gov't to

Oddly, the relative positions of the Kite and Tadje seem to have shifted in this newer map, in the older maps Tadje was to the south west of kite along the road. In this document Kite is shown to be east of the road and directly in line with Tadje. Perhaps these were from different surveys or maybe

If so, this is the first time I've ever heard of a government saying "no, we won't let you pay for it! We want to pay for it ourselves!" Later the text mentions "the long debate over the cleanup costs"....you're saying that this debate is both sides insisting that they be allowed to pay for it? Or

I believe that the 6th para under "Legacy" misrepresents these studies. It states that "Only 2% of participants received more than the current Australian annual dose limit for occupationally exposed persons (20 mSv)" but then undermines this by making two irrelevant comments. Firstly that some

The Map matches the road patterns and confirms the "good" site coordinate we have already. It places the Kite test on the road, south west from the One-Tree test. The Coordinates for the site are close to 29°52'52.88"S, 131°39'10.10"E, If I have done my maths right this link should match those

The second area of concern is that the second of the two DVA studies "Mortality and Cancer Incidence" is not mentioned although it is clearly very relevant to the "Legacy" of the tests. This found that the overall mortality rate of the participants was in fact no different from that of the

They (the British reports to the Australians) differentiate major tests (actual device explosion) to minor tests (Rats, Tims, Vixen: safety tests, dispersion tests, initiator development) which involve only conventional explosives. It's historical.

Does "major" refer to the size of the explosion, or the effort that went into preparing the test? If the size of the explosion, then 1KT is actually small by nuclear stds, making this description inaccurate.

It looks like a different soil type or possibly different vegetation There is another one about 8km east. It is nothing to do with the Maralinga tests which were about 250 km further East.
