Dear Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency,

Radioactive waste is currently stored at over 100 sites across Australia. A 2016 parliamentary briefing acknowledged "Many organisations are using storage areas that were not designed for long term storage of radioactive waste."

I am seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) to all inspection reports for facilities storing radioactive waste from 1 January 2000 to the present.

I understand that the name and location of the facility may need to be redacted for security purposes.

Yours faithfully,

Guido Orefice
