Sent by a friend Dear reader There’s no bigger story than nuclear at the moment. In the past 48 hours our movement has been elevated to the national spotlight and we’re leading the way with bringing facts to the debate. In this newsletter: 1/ Response to Coalition's nuclear announcement 2/ Nuclear for Australia on the national stage 3/ Gladstone Visit 4/ Help us get to 100,000 signatures to legalise nuclear 5/ Nuclear News I'll help make nuclear power a reality today ▷ Response to Coalition's nuclear announcement On Wednesday, the coalition announced their nuclear power policy. As expressed in our media release, Nuclear for Australia welcomes the announcement. Here’s a quick summary of what was announced: 7 sites were selected for the potential of nuclear power stations: Callide, Queensland Tarong, Queensland Liddell, New South Wales Mount Piper, New South Wales Loy Yang, Victoria Port Augusta, South Australia Collie, Western Australia The coalition would initially embark on an establishment project which would comprise of either a fleet of small modular reactors to be ready by 2035 or a fleet of large reactors to be ready by 2037 Nuclear power plants would be owned by the Commonwealth and financed by a Government Business Enterprise to be constructed A community benefit package for the local area including energy bill relief and infrastructure. Unfortunately, the announcement was quickly followed with a resurgence of the fear campaign with the Prime Minister, State Premiers and groups such as the Climate Council, Australian Conservation Foundation and Australian Unions all involved. Fortunately, Nuclear for Australia was there to respond. Nuclear for Australia on the national stage Following the Coalition’s announcement, Nuclear for Australia quickly became the respected national voice for facts on nuclear power. Our team of the nation’s leading nuclear experts held a press conference at Lucas Heights ANSTO Sydney where they provided commentary on the policy to media in attendance. This included Dr Adi Paterson, the former CEO of ANSTO, Professor Tony Irwin, Robert Barr and William Shackel. In addition to our press conference our expert team had over 30 media interviews on the ABC, 10 News, Sky, 4BC, 5AA, The Australian and Daily Telegraph. You can watch some of our interviews on our Youtube. Our expert group have been the trusted voices to respond to the fear campaign with Adi Paterson featuring on today’s front cover of the Daily Telegraph.
