A fully formed market for small-scale nuclear reactors is unlikely to develop in Australia for more than 20 years because the cost and operational performance of the technology are yet to be proven, according to the country’s leading engineering academy.
There are currently no designs for small modular reactors – known as SMRs – that have been licensed, constructed or are operating in Australia or other OECD countries.
two of the sites – Northern Power Station in South Australia and Muja Power Station in Western Australia – would be SMR-only facilities, and could start producing electricity by 2035, Dutton said, while a modern, larger plant could be producing nuclear-powered electricity by 2037.
