Dounreay
In September 2005, approximately 260 litres of hazardous, dissolved spent fuel was spilled onto the floor of a laboratory at Dounreay. Its operators were fined £2 million by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authoritythe following year for the safety breach.

Historically much of Dounreay's nuclear waste management was poor. On 18 September 2006, Norman Harrison, acting chief operating officer, predicted that more problems will be encountered from old practices at the site as the decommissioning effort continues. Some parts of the plant are being entered for the first time in 50 years.

1927
In 1927, commercial shark fishing commenced off Carnarvon, Western Australia. Hundreds of sharks were caught using large gill nets. Fishermen anticipated the removal of the animals to result in an increase in the abundance of smaller fish. The largest shark caught was allegedly 17ft 4 inches in length. The British company Marine Products Ltd. initiated the enterprise and many products were created from the sharks' various parts. An abandoned meatworks became the site of the company's depot and the yacht Istar was employed as a factory ship.

In early April 1927, the enterprise was catching approximately 65 sharks per day.

1935
In 1935, the use of baited and buoyed lines to catch and kill sharks at Scarborough was a matter of 'considerable controversy'. Baited hooks were set in an attempt to catch a shark estimated to be 18 ft long. Concerns were raised by the local Surf Club that hooks baited with mutton and set close to swimming beaches were attracting sharks into shallower waters. Baits were moved from 150 yards offshore to 300 yards at the Surf Club's request.

1949
In May 1949, a 9 ft Tiger shark was killed following the a shark attack on swimmer K. Passaris off Broome. Baited lines were set at the jetty beach. The shark was caught on a half-inch hook and was ultimately shot and killed.

1951
In 1951, fishermen H. Pickford and L. Ackworth of Scarborough suggested the government offer a bounty to provide an incentive to catch and kill sharks. The men had caught tiger and whaler sharks on set lines and landed them at Scarborough.

1955
Fisherman Ray Menzel believed that the banning of the use of set lines was likely to increase the risk of shark attack to surfers. Ray said that he caught most of his sharks just beyond the breakers and not miles out at the reef.
