Title: Re: Emails Reveal: Bureaucrats censor radiation risk Post by AusGeoff on Jun 5th, 2023 at 7:34am The Australian public (and those in other countries) who are typically non-engineer-scientist qualified have been made illogically fearful about transitioning from coal-fired power generation to nuclear power generation. In many cases this stems from sensationalist media misrepresentation which overstates the alleged risks in order to print 50pt headlines. Nuclear power plants operate in 32 countries and currently [ouch] generate 10% of the world's electricity, with France being the highest at 69% nuclear power generation. People's unrealistic fear of nuclear energy stems, I think, from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. But we need to remember that Chernobyl was constructed using engineering technology dating to 1948 when large-scale nuclear energy use was in its infancy. We also have part of the nuclear power plants in place in Australia—coal-fired generators use steam turbines as their motive force, and guess what? Nuclear fuel produces cheap, recyclable steam. Bingo. |

Hi Geoff,
it takes 10 years to build a nuclear power station. What if there a breakthrough with Thorium power in the next 10 years? https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1519823686/0#0 |

It takes longer in some countries because of the unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles thrown in the way. Here are some facts and figures: https://www.statista.com/statistics/712841/median-construction-time-for-reactors-since-1981/
