With the number of Nuclear reactors worldwide approaching 500, Australia should commit to at least one super nuclear reactor. The worlds largest reactor has been built in phases and incorporates older and modern reactors. It generates approx 8200mw at full production. 24hrs a day/ 365 days a year = 72Gwh. Scale that down to 60Gwh as a reasonable consistent operating output. It has been built in phases so incorporates older and modern reactors.
Total electricity generation in Australia was estimated to be 259,446 gigawatt hours (GWh) in calendar year 2017, similar to 2016. (Dept of Environment and Energy, April 2018)
One large MODERN nuclear plant could easily generate 20% of our total power needs!
Techology is also enabling plants operational lifetime to be extended to approx 60 years.
The advance of EV's is going to increase our electricity energy needs greatly and adds further weight to the need for Nuclear power generation in Australia
