Many radioactive isotopes have half lives of thousands of years. Nuclear proliferation might be death by inches. What happens to decomissioned reactors ?. It might be OK for the first 100 years, by then those who are living now will all be dead. However I like to believe my descendents will carry my message about common decency to the world. We all have a responsibilty to care about the legacy we leave for the next lot of idiots.

What are the disadvantages of SMR reactors?
However, they also take longer to build, have higher capital costs so are harder to finance, and are arguably becoming too complex. Different conditions at different nuclear sites also reduce the potential to replicate designs, which also adds costs.18 Oct 2021
What are the problems with SMRs?
With a roll-out of SMRs, skills will be needed for factory work, on-site construction, and plant operation. Deploying SMRs without concurrent supply chain development could hinder deployment and increase costs
What are the safety concerns of SMRs?
SMRs feature smaller, less robust containment systems than current reactors. This can have negative safety consequences, including a greater probability of damage from hydrogen explosions.23 Sept 2013
Are there any operational SMRs?
As of 2023, only China and Russia have successfully built operational SMRs. The US Department of Energy had estimated the first SMR in the United States would be completed by NuScale Power around 2030, but this deal has since fallen through after the customers backed out due to rising costs.
Power plants based on SMRs may require less frequent refuelling, every 3 to 7 years, in comparison to between 1 and 2 years for conventional plants. Some SMRs are designed to operate for up to 30 years without refuelling.13 Sept 2023
What is the controversy with small modular reactors?
Small modular reactors, long touted as the future of nuclear energy, will actually generate more radioactive waste than conventional nuclear power plants, according to research from Stanford and the University of British Columbia.31 May 2022
Are SMRs the future of nuclear energy?
According to Csizmadia, compared to typical, larger reactors, SMRs are more economical and can be scaled to local needs. They also are less costly to build, take less time to complete, have fewer risks and provide more flexibility on siting, proponents say.26 Feb 2024
Do SMRs need water cooling?
SMRs can vary in size from less than 10 megawatts electric (MWe) up to 300 MWe and can use a range of possible coolants including light water, liquid metal or molten salt, depending on the technology.
What is the temperature of SMR reactor?
Some SMRs are based on existing commercially deployed technologies, while others are based on advanced design concepts, offering a range of sizes – from 1 to 300 MWe – and a range of temperatures – from 285°C to more than 850°C.
What are the arguments against small modular reactors?
In addition to the waste and proliferation problems, small modular reactors will not be built and operating in time to be an effective climate solution. Canada's climate targets involve decreasing greenhouse gas emissions to 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaching net-zero by 2050.1 Apr 2024
Who is building SMRs?
• NuScale is developing SMRs in the U.S. and overseas.
• TerraPower was founded in 2008 by Bill Gates.
• Westinghouse's eVinci micro reactor.
• BWXT Technologies is a subsidiary of BWX Technologies and is based in Lynchburg, VA.
• Kairos Power engineers work to develop molten salt reactors.

@imeagleeye1 Says:
Spent nuclear fuel, occasionally called used nuclear fuel, is nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in a nuclear reactor (usually at a nuclear power plant). It is no longer useful in sustaining a nuclear reaction in an ordinary thermal reactor and, depending on its point along the nuclear fuel cycle, it will have different isotopic constituents than when it started.
Spent fuel pool at a nuclear power plant
Nuclear fuel rods become progressively more radioactive (and less thermally useful) due to neutron activation as they are fissioned, or "burnt", in the reactor. A fresh rod of low enriched uranium pellets (which can be safely handled with gloved hands) will become a highly lethal gamma emitter after 1–2 years of core irradiation, unsafe to approach unless under many feet of water shielding. This makes their invariable accumulation and safe temporary storage in spent fuel pools a prime source of high level radioactive waste and a major ongoing issue for future permanent disposal.
Spent nuclear fuel stays a radiation hazard for extended periods of time with half-lifes as high as 24,000 years. For example 10 years after removal from a reactor, the surface dose rate for a typical spent fuel assembly still exceeds 10,000 rem/hour—far greater than the fatal whole-body dose for humans of about 500 rem received all at once.

Contrary to what Alanese says "If Labor would propose nuclear base power the Liberals would object" I do not belief this to be the case. This nuclear option to reduce pollution and ( CO2 Level if you belief that ) is a logical choice.
Anthony Albanese has backed himself in to a corner and there is no back door, hence he keeps pushing his destructive doctrine regardless of the damage it causes.
Labor is just wacko and if you belief they are managing the economy better that the Liberals you should have another look at it.

@PeterA-r8x Says:
Dutton's plan to use nuclear is one real solution to achieve net zero emissions even if one were to believe in the hoax. Renewables will never be able to do so simply because it's never going to produce baseload power, which is essential for our economic survival and our national security. Renewables are intermittent and unreliable
@johnkauppi7078 Says:
We achieving Net zero will have no impact on carbon dioxide levels. But we could ruin what little industry we have left. And what have Labour and the greens have against nuclear power anyway? It doesn't emit any emissions at all.
@TheBigmongrel Says:
Emissions Targets are a joke. Australia's emissions are about as significant as a mosquito fart in a blizzard. Renewables are not even a reliable back-up to nuclear and yet so much beautiful land will be destroyed having these short lived monstrosities installed.
@neilbeauchamp1924 Says:
Labor always ignores facts and goes with ideology. Labor's ideology is not based on facts and science and that is why they are failing to provide consistent base load power. Renewables are a choice based on ideology, not science. Nuclear is the choice based on solid science and sound economics.
