g'day Doc..... from your link.
What does it say about nuclear power?
Nothing at all. The Integrated System Plan only models technologies legal in Australia, such as black coal with carbon capture and storage. Nuclear power was banned by the Howard Coalition government in the late 1990s.
The AEMO fact sheet makes mention of nuclear to point out that it is a very expensive form of energy and would not arrive in time to replace retiring coal plants. We would need something else in the interim.
The Coalition has indicated it would support new gas-fired to ensure the electricity grid remained reliable until nuclear plants were online.
