Abstract
Between 2022 and 2040, the remaining five coal-fired power stations in NSW are scheduled to close. The plan in the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap is to replace this lost generation with solar and wind in remote Renewable Energy Zones, but would Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) on retiring coal-fired power station sites be a better option?
Tony will examine the status of electricity supply in NSW and look at the nuclear option. Re-using the existing infrastructure makes the best use of the assets and reduces costs but, more importantly, retains jobs and keeps the local communities alive, facilitating a “Just Transition”. Tony will also answer the questions “What about safety?” and “What about the Radioactive Waste?”
