‘I’d love’ a nuclear reactor in my ‘backyard’: Jasmin Diab
Global Nuclear Security Partners Director Jasmin Diab says she would “love” to have a nuclear reactor in her backyard as the debate around the energy source continues to divide Australians.
Some experts believe the federal government will fail to meet their target of 82 per cent renewables by 2030.
“I’d love to - I’d love to have access to clean reliable energy 24/7, 365,” Ms Diab told Sky News.
“Being a nuclear professional, understanding how the technology has built intransient safety systems, and just how reliable it would be.
“It’s something that I would be quite happy to have.”

@@adrianw7011 The world has changed for nuclear since those plants built in the time of the grandparents. Safety regulations brought in after Fukishima and the rise of competing technologies have disrupted the economics of nuclear. Your figure of 60 years is optimistic. The oldest nuclear plant still operating is Beznau in Switzerland, at 55 years. This was after a 3 year refit that cost more than to build the original plant. Almost every steam turbine and many of the steam generators and control systems on current US nuclear plants have been replaced and the outages have taken from 6 months to two years. The 40 US units closed by mid-2021 - 30% of total nuclear grid connections - averaged 22 years There are windfarms in the US commissioned in the 1980s that are still operational. You can repower a wind or solar farm with no more than 5-10% loss of production during the process by refurbishing one turbine or one solar string at a time and often increase power by 10-15% and annual output by 25-150% due to technological advances.

Centralized energy sources, including nuclear power, tend to increase costs and provide a convenient tax base for governments. Decentralized electricity generation is a far better solution. Solar PV systems on every roof, paired with three days of battery storage, can address 90% of domestic power requirements at a lower cost. Nuclear power is one of the most expensive options available. In Europe, wind energy is more viable than solar, while in Australia, solar energy is more viable than wind. A mix of renewable energy sources is often the best approach. Large-scale nuclear power is ludicrously expensive. Small modular nuclear reactors could be less costly if they utilize off-the-shelf technology, but not if they require custom designs. At the end of the day, any approach that further centralizes power generation is a disaster for household energy independence.
My dad always said he’d happily live next to a nuke, the next week was Three Mile Island. He toned it down after that 😊
Hinkley Point, the latest partly completed nuclear power plant in the UK, is already at an expected 25c/kw hr. Add the Australia tax on top and this comes out as rather expensive.

Visiting at nuclear power plant Would definitely be a tourist attraction for me. Maybe not all the way to Australia, but somewhere closer! If I was going to visit Australia, I would absolutely try to check out a nuclear power plant if there was tours available to the public.
You can have the nuke in your backyard and pay for it out of your own salary. The majority of nations won't meet 2030 emissions targets, no matter what system is in place. Large-scale nuclear will never occur. Dream on. Operational costs are minimal until you have to dispose of the nuclear waste. Modular SMR might have a future, but not in a major way. Renewables and battery technologies are advancing too quickly for nuclear to catch up cost-wise. Battery storage energy density is rapidly improving. Solar energy is falling in price along with wind. Aust is a massive country with a small population and can easily rollout renewables. Nuclear a lot more difficult, as Aust is so spread out, leading to many inefficiencies.
The nuclear reactors would be placed into the old coal fired stations so quickly blown up. Already a work force ready to retrain too nuclear. Startup is more cost but longevity ,100% reliability cost vastly less ,Canada and France prove that.
@tassied12

Nowhere in the world have new nuclear plants been installed on the sites of old coal plants. Coal and nuclear have different operational requirements. And nuclear is no guarantee of reliability. Canada and France have proved that. In 2022, France lost over half its nuclear capacity, forcing them to save power by switching off the lights on the Eiffel Tower. Canada lost 28% of its nuclear capacity for 5 years between 1998-2003
If you think electricity is expensive now. You haven't seen expensive electricity yet The problems will begin if they start cutting corners trying to make them cost competitive. Just ask the French. Just miraculously double the life span of their reactor fleet. So either someone got the original life span woefully wrong or they cant afford to build new ones. I'd put money on the latter.
Won't happen
I have a Coal fired power station within 2 kilometers and I would love to see that converted to Nuclear. All the infrastructure is there already so it just comes down to changing the method of heating to water to make steam to drive the turbines.
stop listening to fools who think its going to be built next to them . or the waste buried next to their property ..
Happy to have one here too. Less background radiation than is expelled from burning coal. FACT.
The UK just signed on to rolling out small 300 MW reactors manufactured by Westinghouse….
How many industries would suddenly become fans of "Storing nuclear waste in their back yards" if dry casks came with heat exchangers allowing them to be hooked up to process vats or greenhouses? 24/7 heating for the cost of the electricity to run a circulation pump.
Wazzup from Hanford site 😊!
The Chinese have these reactors basically in kit set,they set it up you already have the fuel up and done and safe before you know it cheaper than the subs which you'll prob never see
We already have a nuclear reactor in Sydneys southern suburb of Lucas Heights even with a ban in place.
I agree I am happy to have 1 in my area.
How can nuclear be banned or illegal in Australia if we already have a nuclear facility at Lucas Heights and we are taking on nuclear submarines, it does not make sense. If the government, the greens and the other parties don't want nuclear then coal and gas will have to stay as there is no way renewables will cut it for base load dispatchable power in this country.

Why would you plqce a plant near a coast or wqter system, other than to be able to use the ocean to ran off contaimonated water (poluting our ocean/ecosystems/tourist attractions), staff accessibility etc? Japans failed reactor is still bleeding radiation into the ocean and they came get close to stop the reaction bcos is to hot for even machines! Better to take advantage of our vast deserts were water can't run into waterways and waste can be disposed of safely. Extra cost to ran the power inputs but worth it in the long run.
How many SMR or micro reactors are operating in the world.
The modular nuclear looks really interesting. There's no way to get away from the hard fact we have to have base load which coal, gas and nuclear provide. People who advocate for 100% renewable know absolutely zero about how the power grid functions.
