Australia has a ‘number of serious advantages’ in adopting nuclear energy

CIS Director of Energy Research Aidan Morrison says Australia has a “number of serious advantages” in adopting Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s nuclear energy plan. Mr Dutton has announced his plan for nuclear energy will cost $331 billion over the next 25 years, according to research conducted by Frontier Economics. “Australia has a number of serious advantages, including quite a well set up regulatory framework for our medical research reactor,” Mr Morrison told Sky News host James Macpherson. “We do actually have serious nuclear energy skills and regulatory systems. “We’re not starting from nearly as much as a cold start as plenty of other countries are.”
