An Alice Springs alderman is starting a 30-year protest against a nuclear waste facility by asking people to track any impact on their health.

Jane Clark is against the Federal Government's plans to place a nuclear facility in the Northern Territory.

She says people should monitor their health over the next three decades, so any effects from the planned nuclear facility can be recorded.

"What I'd like people to do is after they've sat down, and it takes about half an hour to record your family medical history, is then to take a photograph of your family and post that either through the website or deliver it into my office and if we get a large number of people who have done this then we'll put it together as an exhibition," she said.
