Walk us through the detail.
You made the statement . Let's see you back it up.
1. How long would it take to get the legislation changed ? Give the recent referendum result l suspect it would take a very long time.
2. Once the legislation is changed how long would it take to establish a nuclear support industry similar to that of nuclear countries ?
3. How much would all that cost ?
4. Once all that is done, how long would it take to build one baseload nuclear power station ?
5. How much would that power station cost ?
6. Where would they get the water from ?
7. Which council or community in Australia would host a nuclear power station ? Considering that people are losing their minds at wind turbines that they can't see, how do you think you'd go building a nuke anywhere in Australia ?
8. Where will you store the toxic nuclear waste and used nuclear equipment for thousands of years ?
9. Who will pay for that storage and security for thousands of years ?
10. How would that nuclear power station compete in the market with renewables when mature coal fired power stations can't in 2023 ?
11. While we're waiting multiple decades for all that to happen what we do for electricity ?

Seems to me, and correct me if I’m wrong, but the location of choice (for cooling purposes?) is close proximity to water, which means it would have to go on somewhere on the coastline. Don’t think you’ll be able to hide it away from people out in the desert… Opposition along the coastline will be immense.
