The east coast is constantly flooded which leaves room for hydro but you want to go nuclear.

I'm all for nuclear power whether that be traditional nuclear or SMR's. Nuclear is just one of many ways to decarbonise the energy grid which is a good thing. However, the elephant in the room here is regardless of whether it's an SMR or a more traditional nuclear reactor is the issue of spent nuclear fuel. I'm pretty certain that most politicians on both sides of the fence don't want a nuclear waste dump in their electorate. Not saying this is a showstopper, there is other ways of dealing with nuclear waste (reprocessing and recycling looks the most promising) however, it's an issue that needs to be carefully considered prior to any SMR go live in Australia.

NO - it does NOT fact check anything AND Diab correctly makes the ECONOMIC point. For SMRs to be viable economically there will have to be a LOT of them - and there are not and there is no indication there ever will be. Put your hand up IF you have the money to finance nuclear (particularly nuclear that largely remains unproven and unused) AND also IF you have the money to pay for the EXPENSIVE power. While you are at it put you hand up if you want to finance MORE of those EXPENSIVE units just to cover reliability. They seldom tell you that every nuclear reactor REQUIRES routine shutdown. IAEA states "Refuelling and standard maintenance, which could be worked out in 2 to 3 weeks"! That is 2-3 weeks of zero production for routine work. The French recent record (56 reactors) is that EVERY reactor AVERAGES over 115 DAYS PER YEAR of zero production, not counting days of part production. The French are finding now that nuclear is becoming very expensive. Build a reactor .... then you need at least one more to cover when it is offline. AND - lets not add how long it would take to build just one in Australia - IF YOU FIND THE MONEY! In a country like Australia with MASSIVE renewable resources any application of nuclear is ECONOMIC MADNESS! Aside from ANY green or location issues THINK basic economics. Nuclear just does NOT add up for Australia! Dutton is just blowing smoke but WHY?

Put your hand up if you work for Labor and have investments in 'green energy'!

Why ?Perhaps Dutton wants Australians to have a meaningful discussion of the matter. I am for that.

@@brianterence3211 The discussion has already been had - many times over - AND this expert has simply confirmed the findings of those discussions. Dutton has simply thrown a dead cat on the table and expects naive believers to think it smells of roses! The EXPERT has confirmed it is a SMELLY DEAD CAT!

What does renewable mean when the devices to create the power are made from toxic materials, many carcenogenic? What about where the toxic waste goes after the manufacture of panels and big fans? What happens when these supposedly renewable things reaches end of life? They are buried as most of the materials used in the construction is NOT renewable. Who cares about Europe? We have different power requirements due to our location and large geography. How much in the end does the start to end of life for panels and big fans cost including burial compared to the amount of power the generate?

Dutton deliberately lies it's 10,000 km's not 28. Nothing that is operational at this time. Except in subs. SMR's are small for a reason. You can not have 20,000 reactors all over the place besides that you can not own one. They belong to the supplier and are refueled by then every 5 years. $100 million a piece. Capable of supplying a factory with power. And you would need 2 of these things.

Bowen has no idea

Wow, make it legal and have an adult conversation about it? Sounds like a way to solve recreational drug issues!

smr's power russian ice breakers, soon to power container ships, smr tech is exploding, so to speak...

The country requires cheap energy if we are to prosper. Nuclear may be part of that, lets have a discussion, not just legislate a no to it. Renewables is not going to provide what we want and need.

This is insane 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If nuclear energy is our only option, we have a huge problem which will not be solved with psuedo-science. Russian submarines have many small modular reactors which are now presenting a massive waste problem.

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed the number of dormant wind turbines in American movies ? ,do you think there is a lesson there ?.

If Australia wants to have a manufacturing base (it says it does) AND if it wants to build nuclear subs locally (it says it does) AND if it wants to build missiles for the US (it says it does) AND wants to supply other nations with fighting vehicles (it says it does) AND it wants a home grown defence industry (it does) then it's going to need to look at a guaranteed and reliable, relatively cheap source of power to be able to do so. Even if were fully solar and wind powered (it can't) it's still not effective for 24/7 operations. The current big manufacturers will not be able to continue if they rely solely on renewables and the country will lose jobs, income and ability as they move offshore. Bowen's ideological and idiotic policies will hasten the demise of such companies and Australia's independence and ability to support itself.

Unfortunately, whatever we build that might do what's needed will be scuttled by labor/greens/teals.
