The Threat of Nuclear Terrorism: Facts and Fiction is the focus of a public lecture to be given in Wagga Wagga this Wednesday night by senior lecturer in Nuclear Medicine at Charles Sturt University (CSU), Mr Geoff Currie. Despite heightened awareness of international terrorism post September 11, 2001 most people are still not well informed about the dangers and possibility of nuclear terrorism, according to Geoff Currie. “This lecture will address a number of questions including the psychosocial impact of nuclear terrorism; the vulnerability of nuclear reactors to sabotage and theft of nuclear material by terrorists; the threat of ‘dirty bombs’ and what could be potential targets in the Riverina,” Geoff Currie said. Currently a senior lecturer in Nuclear Medicine at CSU, Geoff Currie has 20 years clinical experience in both therapeutic and diagnostic Nuclear Medicine and is widely published internationally. Major Garth Wheat, a highly decorated soldier who served in the Royal Australian Army for 30 years, will also speak at the lecture which begins at 6pm on Wednesday, 10 May in the Wagga Wagga Civic Centre meeting room.
