When do you reckon that might be, Foxy ?

Morrison and the state premiers want to wait for a couple of weeks after the last positive case of Covid-19 before they lift restrictions, when there is little chance of provoking a second wave. [Of course, since Dr Donald has said in the US that it will all disappear soon, and that there won't be a second wave, this is perhaps unnecessarily precautious].

But on that sort of precautious criterion, how long do you think they should wait until after the last major nuclear accident before they declare it safe enough to build new reactors ? Come to think of it, when WAS the last major nuclear accident ? Fukushima ? Earthquake and tsunami zone: check. Chernobyl ? old technology: check. Three-Mile Island back in 1979 ? Standard capitalist incompetence and greed: check.

Of course, no nuclear plant should be built near earthquake or tsunami zones, or with old technology, but with the latest technology - and probably building a multitude of small, versatile reactors, to power small and remote towns, and small desalination plants, etc., not just a handful of dirty-big ones.
