Dutton has been more realistic than I expected on #nuclear power, proposing large reactors (which actually exist) rather than the fantasy of SMRs, and specifying a short list of potential sites near closed coal stations

That means we can get to the tough political questions, like who will be in the Emergency Planning Zones (16 km radius),

Time for some serious economic analysis. UAE case suggests likely cost well above $A50 billion for a four-reactor plan, but need to look at materials inflation, wages etc
