disputed by Coalition MPs on the committee &#8211; found that the deployment of nuclear power generation in the Australian context was currently not a viable investment of taxpayers&#8217; money.<\/p>\n<p>Committee members visited all mainland States and the ACT during their investigation into the regulatory, safety, waste disposal, water supply, land acquisition and other issues surrounding the possible introduction of nuclear power generation in Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(See our report about the Nanango visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2024\/11\/22\/nuclear-pros-cons-and-wish-lists\/\">Nuclear Pros, Cons And Wish Lists<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The majority view in the interim report &#8211; by Labor and Independent MPs &#8211; concluded that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The current level of community acceptance (the so-called social licence) of nuclear power was low and might take a long time to build;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The lack of a regulatory framework, workforce skills and a dedicated supply chain might impede Australia\u2019s capacity to quickly build a new nuclear power sector;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Although a range of cost estimates was provided in submissions, nuclear power would be costlier than readily available alternatives;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Small modular reactor (SMR) technology was insufficiently advanced to allow Australia\u2019s climate change abatement targets to be met;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Based on overseas experience, probable approval and construction time (and cost) overruns made it unlikely that nuclear power could meet Australia\u2019s energy transition deadlines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Coalition members of the committee disputed the claim that nuclear power would be costlier than renewables.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In their dissenting view, they stated that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The variability of supply of renewables power should be complemented by nuclear constant baseload power;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Australia has a small nuclear industry which has public recognition and acceptance and which could be readily scaled up for a nuclear power sector; and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Nuclear power was clean, safe and relied upon around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Independent member Dr Monique Ryan added that the Coalition\u2019s proposal would provide only 15 per cent of Australia&#8217;s electricity requirements by 2050 and that under current projections, by 2030 more than 84 per cent of the main national grid will be powered by renewables; and 96 per cent by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A balanced mix of wind, solar, batteries, pumped hydro and very small amounts of gas peaking will provide reliable, renewable electricity around the clock &#8211;
