The federal Coalition has identified seven locations for future nuclear reactors. Peter Dutton says if they win the next election, they'll look to make nuclear power a part of Australia's energy future.After months of speculation, Peter Dutton has released the first details of the Coalition's nuclear energy plan.
They are all sites of end-of-life coal fired power stations, which Mr Dutton says is key to the proposal. "Our proposal will cost a fraction of that, we'll have more to say in relation to the cost in due course and as you know we've done this in a step-by-step process. The focus today is on the sites.""Nuclear takes longer, it costs more, and it would waste Australia’s unique combination of geological, geographical, geopolitical and meteorological advantages. It might be the dumbest policy ever put forward by a major political party.
The Coalition says the first reactor would be ready by 2035, five years sooner than the CSIRO says a plant could be built."In the United States, the most recent big nuclear power plant to be built took 18 years from the date of announcement until the date of commissioning. That is in the country that invented nuclear technology. So let's say we can actually do it as quickly as the Americans, people who have been doing it for decades.
