The Greens have tabled a letter in the Federal Senate from people who say they are the traditional owners of the Muckaty Land Trust calling for a meeting with the Resources Minister, Martin Ferguson, about plans for a nuclear dump on their land.

The letter has been signed by 57 of the traditional owners who are opposed to the plan.

The Greens Senator Scott Ludlam says their views about a nuclear dump on their land have not been sought and they are keen to discuss the matter with the Minister.

"I strongly believe that if this sort of facility were being proposed to be dumped in one of our major metropolitan areas there would be major national political campaigns underway at the very least to have the voices and the opinions and the voices of the local people heard in this matter."
