Nuclear is ‘as safe as renewables’ and ‘meets all the climate change’ criteria

Australian Nuclear Association President Joanne Lackenby says nuclear energy "is as safe as other low-carbon technologies" and so-called renewables, and it "meets all the climate change criteria". "The stats show nuclear energy is as safe as the other low-carbon technologies; wind, solar and hydro, and it's as clean as those technologies as well. It meets all the criteria for climate change, and has the additional benefit it operates continuously," she said. "There's a brand new program that's come out of the United States... here we have the Biden Administration offering to help partner countries to develop their capabilities to develop small modular reactors and advanced reactors.

There's a lot of potential for Australia if we want to as a nation, to join this program." Read More Our Apps
