Nuclear for Australia’s Post

Dont sign this petition. Today there are about 440 nuclear power reactors operating in 32 countries plus Taiwan, with a combined capacity of about 390 GWe. In 2022 these provided 2545 TWh, about 10% of the world's electricity. This agreement sets these 32 countries to raise their holdings to 1320 plants. Note there are 195 countries in the world today. Estimated LCOE for new nuclear plants built in the near future are about two times higher than estimates for wind and about three times higher than solar. Final construction costs for U.S. nuclear plants have typically been 2 to 3 times higher than original estimates. The U.S. annually accumulates about 2,000 mt of spent fuel. Now will be up 3 times that. In essence that is 1320 fission plants in only 32 countries and those countries will need to store 192000 mt of waste per year, that is a whopping increase in storage of toxic waste, therefore a huge increase in accident projections. Remember, the more you have, the more likely the chance of a catastrophic accident and loss of lives. https://lnkd.in/g2FdbA34 Australia better to develop renewables and fusion Which nuclear fission or fusion?

If we want to take climate change seriously, we need to release our nuclear energy. It can be done safely and without adding carbon emissions Over 53% of power comes from nuclear in the most densely populated US state of New Jersey. One nuclear plant on 100 acres can produce 100x the amount of energy from a solar farm on 500 acres

Now that the ban has been lifted on its operation, there is now the potential to restart the reactor after a decade offline. The reactor ceased operating following the Fukushima disaster which heightened safety concerns in the Japanese community. #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower #nuclearpowergeneration #nuclearelectricity #nem #youthaction #youthinpolitics #youthcampaign #youth #auspol #politics #energy #energytransition #climatechange #globalwarming #greenhousegasses #aukus #energysecurity #nationalsecurity #reliableenergy #renewables #renewableenergy

Australia shouldn't ignore the advice of one of our closest allies. #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower #nuclearpowergeneration #nuclearelectricity #nem #youthaction #youthinpolitics #youthcampaign #youth #auspol #politics #energy #energytransition #climatechange #globalwarming #greenhousegasses #aukus #energysecurity #nationalsecurity #reliableenergy #renewables #renewableenergy

Dont sign this petition as the Australian Government can build fusion now unlike Fission. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Whilst nuclear power plants aren't built in people's backyards here's why it shouldn't be as scary as politicians make it out to be. #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower #nuclearpowergeneration #nuclearelectricity #nem #youthaction #youthinpolitics #youthcampaign #youth #auspol #politics #energy #energytransition #climatechange #globalwarming #greenhousegasses #aukus #energysecurity #nationalsecurity #reliableenergy #renewables #renewableenergy

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA
