Nuclear energy that's super safe and affordable

post-image
The next generation of nuclear reactors called small modular reactors (SMR's) can be built in a factory and transported to customers by truck or barge. They could overcome Australia's resistance to power by fission and lead to super-safe and relatively cheap sources of electricity using Australia's vast uranium resources . Rolls Royce say theirs could be in operation by 2030. Good to hear that a Parliamentary Enquiry will be held in Australia to review opportunities with nuclear energy. It seems that the following generation of nuclear energy uses fusion which does not need Australia's uranium. https://www.afr.com/companies/energy/the-new-nuclear-option-small-safe-and-cheap-20190813-p52gr6 https://www.ideaspies.com/post/small-nuclear-power-reactors-for-affordable-low-carbon-energy/.
