Opal multi-purpose reactor

ANSTO

Australia's Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20-megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel 20 % Commissioned 2007.
I wasn't aware they had a newer reactor.

Published on Monday, the report by experts found there was a “make do and mend” culture at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation site in Lucas Heights. The report found that as a result of the facility's old age it failed to meet modern nuclear safety standards
When was Lucas Heights established? Australia opened its only nuclear reactor in 1958.

Note Doog power is bought in a time slot and in your example the supply is dying off and so is not much use so it is cheap.
In another hour it will have zero value.
