Chris Bowen’s nuclear claim contradicted by ANSTO
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation website has contradicted Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s claim it would take nearly two decades to build a nuclear reactor in Australia.
Speaking to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell, Shadow Energy Minister Ted O’Brien claimed that experts say a nuclear reactor could be built in Australia within 10 years.“ the United States, with a very developed regulatory regime, with a very developed nuclear industry, the nuclear leader of the world, the average build time of a nuclear power plant in the United States has been 19 years,” the minister said.
But the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation says in a section on its website about small modular reactors: “An SMR has a projected construction time of three to five years, while a large reactor takes six to 12 years.” Sky News Australia understands the experts Mr O’Brien was quoting are from the US, Britain and Australia.Read More
