📜 Our report on SMRs this week provided an independent analysis of the state of development, market considerations and regulatory context for this emerging technology given the interest in nuclear as a potential low-emissions technology for the energy transition in Australia.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Scientists aren't fanatics and economists aren't fanatics.

We have a clear path to a clean energy economy that will usher in tens of thousands of jobs and a new era of prosperity.

Peter Dutton and Barnaby Joyce want to throw away that future and gamble on incredibly expensive technology that doesn't exist yet, risking higher energy bills, higher insurance premiums, and higher emissions.

We have an incredible opportunity to create a prosperous new economy for everyone.

Peter Dutton isn't interested in that.

[Senator Murray Watt @MurrayWatt]

“A fully formed market for small-scale nuclear reactors is unlikely to develop in Australia for more than 20 years because the cost and operational performance of the technology are yet to be proven, according to the country’s leading engineering academy.”

Today, we published our report on the state of small modular nuclear reactors (SMR) in Australia.

The report highlights key factors driving SMR development globally and reasons for considering it in Australia, the state of the technology & considerations for its implementation.

[The Age @theage]

Australia’s academy of engineers says the cost and operational performance of small modular nuclear reactors are untested and unproven.

🏭A new report from the @ATSE_au has found small modular nuclear reactors could be an option to contribute zero-emissions electricity beyond 2040 alongside a clean energy network, but is unlikely to contribute significantly in the short to medium term

We welcome the Pathway to #DiversityinSTEM Review draft recommendations 🛣️ 🧑‍🔬

Despite investment and programs to increase diversity in STEM, progress has been inadequate; women remain underrepresented. Scale and systemic work is urgently needed.
