The shadow climate change and energy minister, Ted O’Brien, now says there will be more than one nuclear reactor at each of the Coalition’s seven nominated sites,would be stored at the same seven sites across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia for the lifetime of the plants.
O’Brien told ABC TV’s Insiders program on Sunday that a future independent nuclear coordinating authority would determine the kind of reactor at each site - whether they would be small modular reactors, which are not yet available commercially, or larger-scale - the number of reactors at each of the seven plants and the percentage of nuclear energy in Australia’s future overall mix.
After comparing all the scenarios, the same report says there is “no role for nuclear energy unless costs are constrained and renewable energy growth is constrained”.More specifically, it says nuclear energy will only be viable in Australia if the current growth in renewable energy is curbed and if the costs of introducing nuclear energy are at least 30% lower than current international best practice.
On Sunday, O’Brien said the report was produced under the Morrison government and before the 2022 election.
