More misinformation from CSIRO on Nuclear 

It's ludicrous that Australia would call itself a modern country when it's clearly run by Luddites. Unreliables are not scalable with the current technologies, the only countries that can produce them at the claimed low costs are basically using slave labour and they actually increase energy costs by leaching efficiencies from reliable generators. When they reach a critical mass they will collapse the grid due to the inherent instabilities they introduce. But hey, we're saving the planet, just not for the humans, and especially not for The Poors.

I think we have children running the country who think if they keep on repeating the lies it will become true.

We should be developing a uranium enrichment plant given Australia possesses a large percentage of the worlds uranium, so we maximise value adding activities. At the same time we should be exploring use of nuclear power and ideally lead the charge on SMRs. But sadly it all sounds impossible at the moment.

Could you please reference or cite a LCOE study that has nuclear power cheaper than wind or solar. Thanks.

@CISAus - Well, we have ample uranium reserves, same as for quality coal & natural gas, so obviously we need to lock it up and throw away these advantages, and instead fund China & child slave labour to export all of our "emissions".. Or - well - the exact opposite? Duh!

Spot on

Correct

If wind power paid for its energy storage system (like Snowy-3), it would triple the price. Wind is getting a free ride on gas power backup. Worse than that, it is making gas power more expensive, because gas cannot generate 24/7. If you have to shut down your ‘factory’ 40% of the time, it hugely increases the costs. R

But they are happy to waste billions on other dodgy projects...

It's all about destabilizing our quality of life,for the worse.

And incompetence

How about fraud

Both have lost credibility now. The CSIRO needs to go the way of the ABC and restructured or closed down. That way we can afford nuclear generated electricity.

In that case the scumbags who posted this video should ALSO be charged with negligence or lying or BOTH. At no point does she actually mention anything about the actual costs or give any details of them. I am in favor of Australia having nuclear power, but NOBODY needs BULLSHlT and DISHONESTY no matter where its coming from. Sure the clown from CSIRO is moronic to say the least, but she's just as bad and just as misleading. FYI - I am an engineer and we do know the costs of nuclear, because there's been enough plants built in recent years to give us those costs. We know the benefits and the issues. *BECAUSE WE'RE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO DO THE WORK* And I can assure you of one thing we are getting damn tired of having to re-explain everything every time someone posts a pile of crap like this and after every time a politician or one of their assistants speaks complete crap.

Problem is, most Australians are absolutely brainwashed and ignorant on the topic of nuclear energy. No party would ever touch it. It's pretty sad

Who would pay for it and when would it arrive?

@@peterfarley8328 It'd cost a lot and probably take at least 10 years. The money being spent on Snowy 2.0 would be more than enough. My view is that the commonwealth has ignored energy policy for much too long and we basically have to keep coal stations running for decades to avoid blackouts. The fear of nuclear energy is working against the interests of Australians and the ban should be dropped.

You have to build 4 or 5 of a single type in order to scale the learning curve to bring costs down to reasonable levels and you have to build them consecutively with a large retention of workforce. This is the lesson of nuclear builds. So yeah, if you build 5 x 1.4GW reactors the last three could be built for 7-8 billion AUD per reactor. Some recent builds in the US were more like 16 billion AUD per reactor but that is because they didn't build 5 or more consecutively.

One pumped hydro battery project in Queensland has been costed at $15 billion. Just for 24 hours of power for some of the state. Somebodies numbers are flakey.

@@infohighgatehouse7366 Other types of storage are possible too like compressed air in mines. These are being built.

​@@shanewilson2484There is already 5 EPR's being build or ready and opposite has happened.

@@Rehunauris Continuous builds one after the other by the same construction teams in the same country as happened in UAE. If stop construction for years it doesn't count. The important thing is keeping much the same suppliers and much the same workforce for the year of knocking out the 5. When you lose experience and supply chains you are efffed. France built more than 30 reactors between 1977 and 1987. If you efff around with a variety of designs and you allow major discontinuity in workforce and supply chains you are screwed. That is why more of smaller reactors may work better if you can build many with the same caveats I mentioned, but you lose some economies of scale.

When you build a $3billion nuclear submarine you don't have to worry about the cost of power.

@chuckmaddison2924 The problem is, that technology is top secret and will never be shared with private industry, and it is not cheap.

Old information, - I suspect from Wikipedia. You state "there are zero in operation or even contracted for construction outside Russia and China". The IAEA states: "There are currently four SMRs in advanced stages of construction in Argentina, China and Russia, and several existing and newcomer nuclear energy countries are conducting SMR research and development." The EU has stated (7/2/24) that Nuclear Energy is strategic to realising 2040 carbon reduction targets and SMRs are an integral part of that strategy. India too is well advanced in development of SMRs and with so may countries looking to deploy various SMR technologies, the economies-of-scale required to reduce costs will undoubtedly be met.

​@@Pacdoc-oz Nuclear submarine reactors use highly enriched uranium, stuff they make weapons, and militaries dont care about economics.

Where is nuclear low cost? Lowest cost form of energy production is solar and it's also fastest to build.

​@@Rehunauris Solar does not provide a base-load power its a supplement only. Solar power is heavily subsidised which is why it is cheap. Plus no one factors in the disposal costs of the toxic panels once they past their use by date - convenient I think. Fastest to build?

Given that fossil fuels supply around 60% of the annual averaged demand, this means 12Gwe should be planned for nuclear.

It would be near impossible for them to backflip on 40 years of anti-nuclear stance and denial. This one is a vote winner.

On a side note. If you make laws to make nuclear waste recycling required, then you end up with material that is safe within 300 years.

(As opposed to Bowen, who has categorically precluded it.) Furthermore, the report fails to analyse fast breeder technology and assumes that large scale enrichment is the only viable option. A backwards-looking report, for the FUTURE. Seriously? To quote: "For commercial electricity generation in the foreseeable future this would include analysis of potential small modular reactors based on light water designs because of their suitability for integration in smaller markets, but not advanced fast reactors or other innovative reactor designs." The report only specifically looks at the viability of Nuclear "fuel-cycle" options in South Australia. It does not adequately address the viability of different and emerging Nuclear power technologies as they may apply within the NEM.

who could foresee Rudd and Gillard and Albo and covid

Use our excellent coal and gas to maintain our economy and built thorium and uranium and plutonium reactors for ourselves and for export. We have much of the world supply of ores of both of them and should not export them overseas rather than using them here Global boiling is barking mad nonsense, fake and delusional.

No proof-of-concept. There isn't a single country in the world running 50+% on wind and/or solar.

Yes. So much solar and wind can be built in that time that all the existing solar & wind generators will be in landfill by that time. Sustainable? Pfft.

the average build time is 6- 8 years globally. If they convert an existing coal plant it will be much less and most of the infrastructure is there already.

We have 2 mass psychoses in operation in association with a massive fraud. The Climate Delusion and the Energy Transition Delusion associated with Climate Fraud (the massive misappropriation of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects).
