Residents on Adelaide's Lefevre Peninsula — home to the nation's naval construction hub — have mixed feelings about the federal government's new nuclear submarine deal.

Adelaide's northwest, including the Lefevre Peninsula and the suburbs of Osborne and Port Adelaide, is home to a significant portion of the nation's naval shipbuilding capability.

Ms Johncock said she has concerns about local jobs and nuclear technology being used so close to her home.and it's exploded and they've blown up, what do they do with the waste?" she said.She said the residential area had expanded due to the Naval Group contract and said she was worried about the implications for the area.

Mr Marshall also said he had "no fears whatsoever" about safety to the area, and that risk assessments would be conducted. "It's been really nice to have a larger community here and they've really settled in as well," she said. "Having that consistency has been really, really amazing for us so it's concerning to know that that might not be there," she said.Gary O'Neill, who has lived at his North Haven home since 1977, said he was "pro-nuclear" and was "quite comfortable" with the new deal and the safety of nuclear-powered submarines.

Shirley56733062 Susanne watches too much ABC.

U have at best 20yrs

Only at the ABC could they unearth a Susan🙄. Why can’t they find someone that thinks we should have nuclear power too. Maybe didn’t look too hard?

Don’t worry, it will be decades before you have to worry. Literally.

You’ve got nothing to worry about Suz…they won’t be done till 2040. You won’t see any green till your 80 odd 😆

I’ve live in the Sutherland Shire for 67 years in “the Shadow “ of the Lucas heights Nuclear Energy facility. They aren’t making bombs, just a generator to drive a turbine.

Get over it. They have been built in the US , the Uk and other countries with no problem. Do not become a person with antiquated ideas. The only additional problem Australia has is that they won't build nuclear reactors to enable nuclear power.

Everyone thinks it's fine until it isn't.

Thanks to that very amusing TV show South Australians have recently been reminded of Maralinga, Terra Nullius, and the giant mess we were left by other people under the guise of National security. Take the nuclear waste dump and the nuclear submarines somewhere else!

Susan doesn’t understand how the power units will work.

Ok Susan tell Scotty you want them built and maintained in WA

Great to know that someone's feeling should be dictating our national security policy.

Why?Really paranoid view.

Don't worry, by the time we get even one of them, WW3 will be over!

You shall have more chance of subcoming to back ground radiation from your mobile phones.

Such is natural to have question of employment where ya'll be seeing the increased with business opportunities same as same of being expect beforehand though more than less now & re.The future generation concerning active waste material management by launching such unto Mercury.

Where in the hell do you dig this shit up ABC, you do realise that those reactors used in US and UK have never ever had a problem. Stop scare mongering, the frigging Fuel storage next door would be more of a concern.

There's one in every neighbourhood...

Seriously? This is our national broadcaster?

Susanne = Karen

It didn't takeong for the ABC fear campaign to begin

Susanne is smart. Big fat target painted on SA. NONUKES

She got her self in the news pretty quickly, didn't she...

Oh shut up Susie. Jesus they know where to find these Karen’s

Does she live near a cancer clinic and hold fears about radiation therapy?

Hey Snotty, you might have overstepped AGAIN.

'Yes nuclear holocaust and war with China are bad, but what I am more concerned is how will it affect our house prices here in 25 years' , asked Sussane the Boomer.

She’s not to bright.!! Do your homework.

You’ll be ok Susanne, you should be more nervous about the huge Chinese embassy in your State!

The nuclear part is its energy source. They have been safely around for over 40 years.

really thought this a Shovel headline

You sure Karen isn’t her 1st name but goes by Susanne because you know why

I doubt she’ll even see the plans drawn up, let alone a sub

The nuclear material isn't being made there, just the subs.

At least 25 years away, her fears are subzero 🙄

This lady is close to 100. Advise her that no issue.

Wait till she finds out how terrible it is to live in south Australia

Didn’t take the ABC long to find the whingets and neigh sayers again causing fear in the community

You've got a few years before anything happens (if it happens at all).

Australia to get nuclear-powered submarines, scrap $90b plan to build French-designed subsThe ABC understands Australia will use American and British technology to configure its next submarine fleet in a bid to replace its existing Collins class subs with a boat more suitable to the deteriorating strategic environment. No subs on a dead planet. Called it 🥴🥵🥵🥵🇦🇺😂😂 Have we had enough yet? auspol ScottyDoesNothing So the LNP government wasted several years and hundreds of millions (billions?) by making the wrong call and changing their minds? Sounds about par for the course.

'I am staggered': Former PM Turnbull says Porter should have refused anonymous payment of legal feesChristian Porter should not have accepted money from an anonymous benefactor to pay his defamation legal fees, says former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. So a man who allegedly raped a woman, and has allegedly had countless other infractions of behaviour has allegedly rorted his position for financial gain. I must say I am shocked! Of course Porter knows the identity of the donor(s) but this way he can say he doesn't. Donor/s depositing cash into a Porter blind trust, isnt the problem, it's the 'who' has paid those monies; wealthy friend, a church, criminal syndicate or offshore regime ?, could be from anywhere. Imagine if revealed Gerry Harvey stumped up the money, since it's ours 🤔
