Nuscale say their small modular reactor will generate electricity for US$60 per Mwh so where figures like A$240 came from is a mystery. That is a pressurised light water type of reactor. Australian uranium should be enriched overseas where there is a glut of facilities and fissioned in SMRs back here. Store the used fuel in the outback until 4th gen reactors are available to burn not only plutonium from the used fuel but also thorium. Over time we should be able to replace most coal and gas and genuinely slash emissions.
