My question is again to the Minister for Education, Science and Training. Can the minister confirm that on 1 May this year the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation ceased to provide radiation monitoring by health physics surveyors at the Lucas Heights reactor between 11 pm and 7 am? Given that the incident last Thursday was not directly related to hot cell operation, isn’t it the case that a similar accident could occur between these hours when there are no health physics surveyors at the facility?
