This paper critically considers the history of nuclear energy in Australia, placing particular emphasis on the strong debate about uranium mining and exporting which occurred between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Though this topic has been already analyzed by different historical studies and through numerous methodological approaches, some issues of the Australian as well as international ‘atomic debate’ which involved civil uses of nuclear power in the second half of the 20th century remain under-investigated. This article, for instance, focuses on the little-known and seldom popularized history of Synroc which, in the late 1970s, was presented as the ‘geological perspective’ to deal with radioactive waste disposal. The matters under discussion here are particularly important because of their links with some key issues still prevalent in the international nuclear debate, such as nuclear safety, atomic weapons proliferation and the safe disposal of nuclear wastes.

解决核问题：从杰维斯湾到林伍德的Synroc的澳大利亚铀矿辩论

本文批判性地考虑了澳大利亚的核能历史，特别强调了1960年代末至1980年代初关于铀矿开采和出口的激烈辩论。尽管已经通过不同的历史研究和许多方法论方法对该主题进行了分析，但涉及20世纪下半叶民用核能的澳大利亚以及国际“原子辩论”的一些问题仍未得到充分研究。例如，本文重点介绍了Synroc鲜为人知且鲜为人知的历史，该历史在1970年代后期被视为处理放射性废物的“地质视角”。
