Our survey of those with an actual background in nuclear science and technology showed high support for SMRs, but openness to other reactor types. With our small operating research reactor and plans for submarines, it seems like small has had a good head-start here.

In 2025, we surveyed our members, who are highly experienced nuclear professionals, to gauge expert opinion on nuclear energy deployment in Australia. The results highlight that the main barriers are political and cultural, not technical or economic

Question: Is there a point in removing the ban on nuclear energy if itโ€™s too expensive for us anyway? Answer: Cost is not a reason to ban nuclear nuclearaustralia.org.au/quesโ€ฆ

Australia has safely operated research reactors for decades. Weโ€™ve developed radioactive waste solutions. We have a world class nuclear regulator. And weโ€™re training a nuclear skilled workforce for AUKUS. Yet, we turn our back on nuclear power. Itโ€™s time to lift the ban.
