The number of places it is viable is limited to build in a big enough scale...It is a good idea, just won't scale to what we need for Australia. Plus transmission losses are too high to cover East coast of Aust, let alone all of Aust.

Portable mini Nuclear power stations on the back of a truck..... one for each town.

There's LOT of water for pumped hydro. You're deflecting.
That water would be used 200-400 times a year.
