What if the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened in Australia?

This map shows the nuclear fallout zones following the 1986 Chernobyl accident  applied to proposed nuclear power sites in Australia. Use these options to map the fallout dispersion after a nuclear accident.

The sites listed in the map are potential nuclear power sites in Australia, as discussed in a 2007 report by The Australia Institute: Andrew Macintosh, 2007, “Siting Nuclear Power Plants in Australia Where would they go?”, Web Paper No. 40.
