This video link is to an interview by Sarah Morice from ABC News Radio with Dr Adi Paterson, Nuclear Science Expert. Dr Paterson was the CEO of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), which operated the nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney.
Following are some quotes by Dr Paterson from the interview:
“…low carbon nuclear electricity provides the cheapest to consumer costs and would transform our electricity grid…”
“My message to the public of Australia, you are being conned because the cost of electricity is based on reliable, always on supply. Wind is only available on average two days out of five, 40% capacity factor. Nuclear power plants globally generate more than 93% capacity factor…”
“…And it’s fundamentally important for the people of Australia to know that it is an absolute con to suggest that if we had nuclear electricity, that it would be more expensive.”
The video is 11 minutes 25 seconds long. Here is a link.
