Charles Hemmings (CCN332) ignores the problem with nuclear power more fundamental than disposal of waste.
It remains a fact that Australia has no nuclear power station, not one.
Furthermore, there are no plans to build any, nor proposals to fund the same either public or private.
The cost of just one nuclear power station would be mind boggling.
Then it needs to be determined where to locate such a project and we’d probably require several.
And with no expertise in nuclear technologies, Australia would need to embark asap on training a nuclear workforce starting from scratch.
For these reasons we’ve already missed out on this technology and it’s unlikely we will see nuclear power transmission in Australia, at least in my lifetime.
