Shadow Minister,

All I do is pass on information and opinions of
scientific experts modelled on their findings
and found in various scientific reports.

If you disagree with anything you are more than welcome
to produce evidence that disputes the information.

I am not a scientist merely a provider of information.

Foxy,

Evidence: perhaps the fact that no reactors in France or Finland (or perhaps elsewhere too) have had any radiation problems (since they are the most likely issues to concern us) for some time., except the following:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-edf-safety/france-flags-welding-fault-at-five-or-more-edf-nuclear-reactors-idUSKCN1VX0N7

which seems to have been remedied, since nothing further has been [published. But for nit-pickers:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-nuclear-accidents-idUSTRE78B59J20110912#:~:text=March%201980%3A%20An%20accident%20at,runs%20from%20zero%20to%207.

It would be interesting to compare deaths or injuries from nuclear accidents with those from coal-fired power-stations, wind towers or solar arrays, or from wood- or dung-fires. My guess is that deaths and illness from the last outnumber all the rest put together.

Joe

Joe,

There have been problems in six nuclear reactors in
France - to the extent that France is to give millions of
people iodine pills in case of nuclear accidents:

Also Reuters reported safety problems found at the Finnish
reactor built by the French - Areva.

So yes - there are safety issues involved.
As for coal? Not sure about accidents, but at least
not radioactive - although as I asked Bazz- our reliance
on coal also presents us with other problems.

Foxy,

Of course there are health issues involved in relation to the nuclear industry, there always will be. There are health issues in relation to tour boats, i.e. use a life-jacket and know how to swim; and in relation to driving a car, i.e. get a licence and stay sober. But if sensible steps are taken , in the nuclear industry like elsewhere, then it's no more of a problem than elsewhere.

As long as any nuclear energy production is safe ......

Joe

Joe,

You're comparing nuclear reactor problems
with those of tour boats?

Seriously?

You know there's quite a few problems involved with
nuclear reactors that apply only to them. We've
pretty much covered them in this discussion.

Joe,

As I stated earlier - Australia will find the
energy solution that suits. Whatever that may be.

Our science is first-class.

I for one am looking forward to our future.

I'm sure it will be a good one for us, and for the
planet.
