Coalition fires back at report revealing difficulties of nuclear energy push

Shadow Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O'Brien hit back, saying he is engaged with experts who say Australia could establish nuclear power within a decade.

The Coalition is understood to be looking at coal-fired power station sites to host nuclear reactors but is yet to reveal the full costings.The Coalition is due to launch its nuclear policy ahead of the budget reply speech in May.
