@@aliendroneservices6621I believe this comment may mislead the concept of danger between toxicity and radiotoxicity. Cd-114 is a stable isotope that is highly toxic (like many other stable isotopes), but is useful as a research tool. This means that regardless of nuclear reactors (the subject of the video) it will still be used for medical isotope production whose industry has a very good reputation and has more benefits to health through its application. For an infinite halflife you could say that Fe-54 is toxic with enough quantities.

If you have high prices for energy it is because the crooks have taken away your best possible energy source! Coal! Coal is good for the environment and it is good for Australians. Don't let the swindlers take it away! It is alright to be prosperous Australia! Don't let them slander your wealth! Your prosperity is not a crime but the prosperity of wind, solar and nuclear are a crime when you already have the best of all possible worlds. They are jealous. Let them turn green! Keep your wealth and your prosperity and be proud!
Interesting that the US Senate has just passed 88:2 - huge bipartisan support - legislation aimed at cutting regulatory costs and overheads. Plus a new program to support the development of next Gen 4 advanced designs. The big commercial driver is going to be the demand for rock-solid base generation to support massive growth in AI data center energy requirements.
_Interesting that the US Senate has just passed 88:2 - huge bipartisan support - legislation aimed at cutting regulatory costs and overheads._ At last, they're waking up. The USA was a leader in nuclear power generation, but not any more. They have a long way to go to 'make America great, again.' Rosatom and the French are now miles ahead of them.
What I can't understand about this, is why do we need to keep renewables in the mix (unless its for remote communities etc). Why have two completely different energy sources with being unreliable that requires constant replacement. If we go nuclear just ditch the expensive and unreliable renewables that generally can't be recycled. Oh and the Gencost report was written by an economist..
One of the barriers to nuclear, is that people don't understand it's benefits. The opposition really needs to focus on educating the public about issues like the scale of nuclear waste compared to other forms of power.
Most of my concern is in regards to the costs and the timeline. The problem with nuclear is there has been a number of recent nuclear reactor builds that have gone hugely over cost and over budget. In Finland they completed a nuclear reactor in 2023 that was meant to cost 3 billion Euros and by completed in 2009, instead it cost 11 billion Euros and was 14 years late. Finland already has a nuclear industry. In the UK the Hinkley Point C is the same situation. In regards to both the coalition and labor plans in Australia, neither appear to be specifying the total costs and probable timeframes so that the merits of each can be judged.
_The problem with nuclear is there has been a number of recent nuclear reactor builds that have gone hugely over cost and over budget._ That's the European Pressurised Reactor. They may be superior once built, but they're tricky to get right. So, until they've ironed out the kinks, avoid them.

Too much talk of small modular reactors. 1.1 GW capacity units and get on with it. UAE is in the middle of its construction and unit startups, and each unit gained construction and start time efficiencies with each unit, 7yrs to 5yrs and next is no scheduled on line in 3.5yrs from construction to startup. And cost dropped with each unit. Proven South Korean nuclear construction companies and unit manufacturers. Could have built capacity of 20GW in the last 20yrs with the renewables handouts already.
You guys need to rustle up a few more experts to support this if you’re so keen on it. So far you’ve really rolled out this guy repeatedly and that high school kid. You might need to do better if you want it to be taken seriously.
@@troywallace322To be fair, she has no less credibility than the high school kid! But no, I was wondering if you’d be able to get an expert from AEMO, CFC, IEA, CSIRO, Origin, AGL or anyone really from the energy sector or any investment banks or anyone really who thinks this is a good idea.
@@froggy0162 Your so called experts are not always experts. It depends on the pay outs. Graft. Why do you think Labor are staying with renewables and the rest of the world is moving past them. The CSIRO are extreme lefties. Scientists, credible ones, are the way to go.

I love listening to Tony Irwin....so measured, fact based and hands on experience with Nuclear....these are the people we should be listening too!!
Just like the "experts on the COVID scamdemic. 🤣🤣🤣
Great interview Ross. Good to hear from someone that knows what they’re talking about…
Bring on nuclear asap…

Yes , I think so too .
I'm an engineer and I worked on Lucas Heights isotope extractor for nuclear medicine nuclear is safe
With half a life of billions of years. They will evaporate by the sun immediately.
@@Yourbrightspot What is the halflife of cadmium-114? Does that infinite halflife make it infinitely dangerous?

Given how much gas, coal, sunshine, wind, uranium we have here in Australia. Power prices have to be a huge failure of government.
Not a huge failure, but a criminal sell-out. The people of Australia have been betrayed into a high cost of living.(sucked dry )

7 reactors will power 4% of the grid by 2050. That's why. Nuclear will be a drop in the bucket.
You are absolutely and totally correct 👍
1:10 why will 'renewables' be needed?
Their only use is to placate the muppet brigade …
Renewables are useless

You omitted the fact Finland's power bills dropped to one-third of what they were prior to nuclear.
