And the second part in WA is the fact that there's just been a newly licensed controlled industrial facility for radioactive wasted HMA sterling south of Perth.

Thanks Dave and I might start with the controlled industrial facility at HMAS Stirling because it links in Gillian with the new environmental legislation so all the developments at Stirling were put to the federal government for environmental assessment and it was assessed because of impacts to local threatened species, and there are lots of really critically endangered and important species.

But it wasn't assessed, they didn't consider the nuclear aspects of the project in that assessment.
11:27
So separate to that, they've just had a license from the federal regulator, the Australian Radiation Protection Safety Agency, or PANSA.
11:36
They needed to get a license from them to construct the facility.
11:42
first to site, like the siting of the facility, and then to construct.
11:47
So they've got both of those licenses.
