​Jack and Sam from 3CR's Dirt Radio talked to Jupiter McIntire about her new report - Northern Waters: Uranium in Drinking Water in the Northern Territory last Tuesday the 25th of October. The report, due to be released later this week, looks at the heightened levels of Uranium in the drinking water of remote communities in the NT, the detrimental health effects and social issues that are driven by careless Uranium mining in the territory.

Keep your eyes peeled for the report through to be published with FoE Melbourne and find out how you can get involved spreading the word of this very pressing issue in the NT. Catch Dirt Radio from 9:30-10AM on Tuesdays here on 3CR Community Radio.​//
