Plans For New Reactors Worldwide - World Nuclear Association

Nuclear power capacity worldwide is increasing steadily. Most reactors under construction are in the Asian region. Significant further capacity is being created by plant uprating.

The question of nuclear in Australia’s energy sector

In Australia's transition to net zero emissions, the electricity sector has a major role to play. But does nuclear power have a place in our future grid?

Nuclear power stations are not appropriate for Australia – and never will be | Climate Council

While the move to clean energy is still not happening fast enough, it is underway and starting to speed up. We do not need distractions like nuclear to derail our progress now, so let’s set the record straight.

Would a nuclear power plant fit Australia's needs? These numbers cut through the debate

As the shift away from fossil fuels gathers pace, the Coalition has turned to an emissions-free technology with a long and contentious history — nuclear fission. These are the numbers you should keep in mind when thinking about its place in Australia's energy transition.

Nuclear power makes no sense for Australia – but it’s a useful diversion from real climate action

Insisting nuclear power is the only way for Australia to achieve net zero by 2050 is a classic move from the playbook of those who oppose urgent action on climate change.

ABC forced to issue grovelling apology over 'fake gunshot' scandal

Five additional gunshots were added to a clip in which a soldier fired a single warning shot from a helicopter as it flew above an Afghan compound.

The ABC has apologised to its audience, military commandos and a former US drug enforcement official over errors in its 'Line of Fire' reports about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.

Five additional gunshots were added to a clip in which a soldier fired a single warning shot from a helicopter as it flew above an Afghan compound where unarmed civilians walked below.

Furious backlash grows against the ABC over video of fake gunshots

A former ABC chairman has unleashed on the public broadcaster as outrage grows over the apparent addition of extra gunshots to footage of an Australian solder firing at an unarmed Afghan man.

A former ABC chairman has unleashed on the national broadcaster as outrage grows over the apparent addition of five extra gunshots to footage of an Australian soldier firing at an Afghan man.

Maurice Newman, 86, says the ABC he chaired for five years until 2012 has become a 'self-serving collective' after an audio expert claimed the extra shots were added to footage featuring former special forces commando Heston Russell.

Last year Mr Russell successfully sued the ABC and two investigative journalists for defamation over stories he claimed gave viewers the false impression that he was under investigation for shooting an unarmed prisoner.

Independent forensic digital audio expert James Raper told Channel Seven's Spotlight that audio of six gunshots had been 'copied and pasted' to footage of a soldier firing at Afghan villagers in a 2022 ABC story about alleged war crimes.

The broadcaster said it has 'removed the online video where an error has been identified, based on preliminary inspection of the audio'.

Mr Newman said that the 'latest revelation' of doctored audio in an ABC report vindicates what he has been saying for 'a very long time'.

'The ABC is a self-serving collective, which doesn't let the truth stand in the way of a good story,' the former chairman told the Herald Sun.

'(It) has become the shameless megaphone of the Left and operates in defiance of its act, its charter, its editorial policies and the interests of a cohesive society.'

Yeh, but what would he know?

Seriously though, this is not a big secret anyone remotely unbiased can see how left leaning the ABC has become.

You do realise that article is talking about having too much renewable power, not too little?

I can read, not any of that changes the fact there are big questions yet to be answered on reliability due to the factors in the article.
Too much at times but not enough at other times of high demand especially overnight. Renewables being the sole energy source to power Australia is a pipe dream.

I actually watched that footage, Murray Watt and the Department head were a joke. The Department head woman's stock answer was "I'll have to take that question on notice and get back to you". Another dunderhead appointed by this incompetent ALP Government.

Nobody has ever suggested that renewables alone were the whole solution - renewables with storage (i.e. batteries & stored hydro) has always been the long-term solution.

But you do you, and keep misrepresenting things with your straw man arguments.

And you keep sugar coating a system that is decades away if ever the total solution, but you do you.

Hang on... you're talking about a system being decades away, while promoting nuclear as an option? How are you so lacking in self-awareness? The hypocrisy is astounding!

Umm, you were talking about pumped hydro?

The Queensland government has just cancelled their proposed pumped hydro scheme as it was going to take 10+ years to build and cost over 30 Billion to build.

Wasn't those the same issues you have with nuclear, cost and time it will take to build?

And youi full of it, up to you're eyeballs.

At least with nuclear it can power up 24/7/365 without having to worry at all about the sun shining or more to the point the wind blowing or the batteries charging up, hell recently there have been examples of them having to turn the windmills off because the wind was blowing too strongly during storms.
Nuclear doesn't need millions of hectares of solid farming land to operate either as is happening currently in country Victoria.

Mate he's too far gone down the ALP/Greens indoctrination on renewables.
Meanwhile China and many of our Asian neighbours continue to go down the Nuclear pathway which will just make Australian industry and manufacturing less competitive.

Seems all the businesses screaming about how their energy bills are skyrocketing or those being forced out of business due to energy prices and Labor's total failure to rein in the cost of living for struggling families is of no consequence to Vader and his lefty mates.

Typical lefty "I'm alright, **** you Jack" attitude.

Why do you keep persisting with this fallacy about renewables driving up energy prices, when it is the fossil fuels that are doing so?

Our electricity bills keep going up and up and up - much faster than inflation.

Renewables as a percentage of our total generation keeps going up and up and up.

Lefties, we need more renewables to lower our electricity prices.

I wonder at what stage they will realise that we will still need reliable base load power.

[Mutineer]

What utter crapola, the fact they are having to use so much gas because renewables can't cope with times of demand is most of it, you know that poisonous fossil fuel gas. All caused by the forced close down of so many coal fired power plants and lack of maintenance on those still in service.

It appears even Labor have been led screaming and bitching to that conclusion with their latest gas admissions.

Have they decreed there are no CO2 emissions with gas generation? Follow the science.
