The oldest operating reactors (five of them) are 54 years old and entered commercial service in 1969. Two of these are located in the United States, two in India, and one in Switzerland.
Currently, research is investigating extending Nuclear Power Plants lifetimes to 100 years,
Give me a wind turbine or Solar Farm that achieves this
@JoeyBlogs007 Says:
Have the conversation by all means, however, I think you will find that by the time a nuclear power plant ever gets approval, grid-scale base load battery storage technology will have significantly advanced and gotten way cheaper by 2030 and beyond. Nuclear power will probably get more costly as the years go by, as it does due to tighter regulatory requirements around nuclear power generation and nuclear waste disposal.
Why don't these dam reporters let him finish talking instead of them wanting to butt in all the time this clown is an idiot
@br3089 Says:
Nuclear is not the ' greenest' .the embodied energy that goes into setting them up is so massive. Not that Dutton will ever implement them.Nuclear is just a talking point to create controversy ,in an attempt to get the LNP back into power. their puppet masters hate renewables because they are turning Fossil Fuel intensive business' into stranded assets.Nuclear debate is a strategy to slow down the transition.
@Ernst12 Says:
RE: wind turbines that produce electricity continuously according to Chris Bowen, there are many scientific reports on the web that detail the anticipated windspeeds at various places in and around Australia with the result that average annual energy output of a wind turbine is quite modest compared with the demand of electricity. There reality is that wind turbines have a duty-cycle (efficiency factor) between 25-35% under ideal conditions. One of the most misleading statements repeatedly made by the Labor government and it propaganda arm , the ABC, is that a windfarm has 4.7 (say( GW output and it can proved electricity for x thousand homes.
The reality is that the peak output power, that is the installed capacity, has little relevance in relation to the average annual energy anticipated based on the variability of the wind at a particular place.
The over all problem with all renewable PV solar and energy solutions is that when there is glut of output, sun shining and optimal wind, these systems might provide the excessive energy when the demand is low (why Germany is paying Denmark's wind farms when they are standing idle) and tool little of nothing when the demand is high. There is no way to provide battery storage at the TWh level in the foreseeable future.
For this reason, a baseload backup to the FULL CAPACITY is required when the renewable provide no energy at all during the winter lulls as is the case in Australia at present - one only has to look at the NEM website. I can't see the ABC or any news outlet in Australia giving daily updates as to just how little or zero energy that is being contributed from the renewables. The Germans have discovered this the hard way and the penny seems to also have dropped across the ditch in NZ.
The costs will just keep increasing with renewables because the build will be continuous, a massive over build is required to all the massive and expensive country destroying transmission line network shove electricity around the country.
As a baseload backup is to the full demand capacity is required anyhow, it makes sense to start with baseload gas in the interim and nuclear down the track which can use the existing sites of concentrated power sources, avoid the massive rollout of transmission lines and it will also make a penetration of renewables beyond about 30-40% penetration a waste of taxpayers' money, unnecessary destruction of the landscape and environment not to mention an ecological disaster with recycling and destruction of the environment.
As the renewables, as proposed at present by Labor and the Greens will NEVER be fit for purpose to provide the required cheap and reliable energy now, why not go ahead full speed with gas and nuclear instead of wasting any further money on renewables that will be draining out economy, impoverish our middle class and put Australia back to third world status which would be totally unnecessary self-inflicted harm and misery not to mention that we are ruining the future for our young peopls.

It's coal instead of renewables or nuclear, stupid. Nuclear can come later as it takes longer and is more expensive. Other countries know that, which is why collectively they are building hundreds of new coal-fired power stations, many of them to be supplied with our coal for a very long time come. Both major parties have chosen the wrong paths. Enjoy the ride to hell suckers!

@3.28 Dutton lies to YOU again. "In Ontario they're paying 25% the cost of electricity that we are here".
As at Sept 2023, according to Energyhub, the average cost in Ontario is AU0.16ยข/kWh.
The average residential cost of electricity in Canada is AU$0.21 per kWh. This includes both fixed and variable costs and is based on an average monthly consumption of 1,000 kWh.
Quรฉbec has the cheapest electricity prices in all of Canada at AU$0.086/kWh, while the Northwest Territories has the most expensive electricity prices at AU$0.45/kWh.
As at March 2024, Nuclear energy is a part of Canadaโs energy mix โ currently providing 14 percent of electricity nationally and about 58 percent in Ontario.
In April 2024, the average price in Australia was AU$0.309
As you can see, for those that didn't finish primary school, 16cents IS NOT a quarter of 31cents. Yet another LIE from the the Liberal Party leader in his effort to deceive YOU.

What did you learn from this drivel? I got that Australia will be using more gas powered plants until nuclear power might come along at some time in the future.
Nulcear reactors will be on sites where there are now coal power plants.
He also said that he wants pensioners to be able to pay the bills. Yet according to the CSIRO report AND every other source available, the cost for nuclear power will be much more expensive than ANY OTHER form of energy.

The estimated cost of nuclear power for Australia is nearly $400 billion. There are approx 10 million households in Australia. I'm fairly certain that with $40000 per household you could afford to give every Australian a Tesla powerwall and a 7kwh solar system. But the government doesn't want us to be energy independent. BTW nuclear reactors are a much better idea than solar farms or wind farms, but residential solar seems like a much more cost-effective idea overall.

Why are the Liberals making a 180 degree turn away from renewables, all of a sudden? Follow the money.
Former NSW Liberal government energy minister Matt Kean has quit his role as ambassador of an environmental charity dominated by state and federal Liberal and National Party MPs, saying it had become obsessed with promoting nuclear power and is seeking to delay the rollout of renewables.
Kean says he is quitting the Coalition for Conservation (c4C) because of concerns about the direction of the charity, which has undergone a major shift in focus in the past year, coinciding โ according to the AFR โ with the growing involvement of patron Trevor St Baker, the former coal baron and now nuclear investor and proponent.
โWhen the network was formed, I was an enthusiastic supporter, because I believe that it is the Coalition that should be the best custodians for our environment,โ Kean wrote in a letter to the organization's chair, former federal Coalition minister Larry Anthony.
โIt has become clear in recent times that the Coalition for conservation has increasingly focused on nuclear power in the electricity system.
โIn particular I was concerned to read an article in the Canberra times advocating nuclear power stations as an alternative to building new large scale transmission lines.
โWhile I recognize that one cannot rule out nuclear playing a constructive role in the Australian electricity system in the distant future, the reality is that there is no feasible pathway to play any material role in helping Australia replace our coal fired power stations in line with the climate science.โ
The C4C appears to have undergone a rapid rethink on emissions reductions, dumping its previous support for renewable as the cheapest path to net zero in favour of nuclear.
It is a major major shift which has coincided โ according to the AFRโs Rear Window column โ with the growing involvement of one of the C4C two patrons, the billionaire Trevor St Baker, the former coal baron and now nuclear investor and proponent.
Kean is the architect of the plan to replace Australiaโs biggest fleet of coal generators with wind, solar and storage, and whose work now forms the basis of the Federal Labor governmentโs Capacity Investment Scheme that will lead its own ambitious renewable energy targets.
His decision to quit the group highlights the growing divide between moderates in the Coalition, and the hard right, which has become obsessed with nuclear and is supported by a growing number of so-called โthink tanksโ, Murdoch media, and charities such as C4C.
The groupโs recent activity on X and its own website have been focused entirely on nuclear, and it has joined the chorus of conservatives, including Coalition leader Peter Dutton and energy spokesman Ted OโBrien, in attacking institutions such as the CSIRO and AEMO for their GenCost reports and renewable energy roadmaps.
Kean wrote in his letter that large scale nuclear reactors have proven costly and slow to deliver, particularly in the UK with the massive delays and cost overruns at the Hinkley point C nuclear power project.
He also noted that small modular nuclear reactors promoted by the charity as a solution to Australiaโs energy challenges are not currently commercial anywhere in the world, and early stage demonstration projects have been cancelled or delayed into the 2030โs.
โEven if (nuclear energy in Australia) were possible, it would be extremely expensive and far more expensive than the alternative as set out in AEMOโs integrated system plan,โ he wrote.
โI not only regard advocacy for nuclear power as against the public interest on environmental, engineering and economic grounds, I also see it as an attempt to delay and defer responsible and decisive action or
climate change in a way that seems to drive up power prices in NSW by delaying renewables.โ

Building within the footprint of an old coal fired plant and lasting up to 100 years has to be cheaper when compared no renewable, as they all have waste. And dont give me the bulldust nuclear waste is difficult to manage, I have a physics degree and have actually handled radioactive substances. The gaslighting by Albo is a joke, just about everyone else is doing nuclear. I dont even like nuclear, but if the country communities want to replace coal with nuclear let them, they dont vote Labor

Maybe Nuclear is a way to go, but we the Australian people have to be told transparently and honestly the cons of this power source. Then the pros, then a referendum vote on YES or NO.

The fallout from nuclear is catastrophic, better coal fired stations would be non catastrophic, along with solar panels and hydro, as we are surrounded by water.
