Creating nuclear fuel in Australia would add 'huge value' to uranium

- Australia Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation former CEO Adi Paterson explains the value added to uranium if Australia were to make it into nuclear fuel locally.
“We could develop the ability to make nuclear fuel, that adds a huge amount of value - about 1000 times to the uranium we send out now in the form of yellow cake,” Mr Paterson told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“I think it is really important to recognise that uranium is power, all of the lowest carbon-reliable energy in the world apart from hydropower, which is about the same size, and some geothermal energy in places like the north of New Zealand.”
Who gives a f*** what it costs?
Your economy is screwed thanks to Labor anyway. You might as well be sensible and spend what you have left on something that works!
Pretty simple.
Nuckear is the greenest power available
Wow he gets to the actal figures on cost of power and they cut him off. Not Helpful.
Shari tends to make a habit of interruption.
We could have the biggest waste storage in the world = $$$
Woomera SA.
Where the UK tested nukes in the 60s.
Australia is the place they test all new experimental stuff.
I slept for 2 weeks in a retired Woomera detention centre (cell) , and I froze my ass off!
@@NPCNPCBGlobal cooling.
Lol, why use Woomera when you only have to go up the road to Roxby Downs. Where we're already mining uranium and storing nuclear waste.
where are the rest of Adi Paterson's Costs comparisons why close down the report ? Who is censoring This report ..
What a pathetic news piece that was. Just as he was about to explain the important costs, they end the broadcast.
I will vote to the party that supports the nuclear powers. Why not nuclear power to give Australia the power house for energy.
1 kg of coal runs a washing machine for 6 hours. Available 24/7
1 kg of oil runs a washing machine for 9 hours. Available 24/7
1 kg of renewables runs a washing machine for less than 1 hour. Available only when the wind is blowing and the sun is shinning. Nominally 30% of the time in Australia.
1 kg of Uranium runs a washing machine for 2000 years. Available 24/7. WARNING - The washing machine may not last 2000 years.
I wonder which energy source makes sense.
and 1 tesla battery up north only last for about 5 minutes at peak load of 2GW for SA.
@@DJ-yj1vg batteries as the only backup to wind and solar is pointless as it would require hundreds of billions just for a few hours of power. What the government will not tell us is solar always fails 100% every night across the country and if there is a high pressure system over Australia the wind is insufficient meaning a total failure of the renewables grid ever night the wind is not blowing. You therefore need a backup grid. In effect we are going to pay for 2 grids worth of generating power when only one is required.
How much energy in kg of fuel is petty meaningless. The cost of the power plants that can use the fuel is much more important.
Wow. We could actually PAY our DEBTS and Leave the TAX PAYER'S ALONE. This is Ridiculous when over 30 other Countries HAVE IT. NO Arguments!
This a interview need to be given more time!
😂 we already produce "Yellow cake" in Australia at Roxby Downs and export it.
The presenter interrupt the guest on this show. Then the presenter interrupt the guest to tell him that they don't have the time for the guest to make his point.
Terrible interview - you cut him straight off, why ask the question!!
One would hope it would but look at our gas industry they sell our own gas back to us at some of the highest prices in the world.
While letting most of it go overseas without being paid for it.
Not allowed we must give it all to the CCP.
Am in support of nuclear power
We're already doing that just up the road at Roxby Downs 😂
Australia does not have a central facility for the storage or disposal of radioactive waste, which is currently held at more than 100 locations around Australia. Many organisations are using storage areas that were not designed for long term storage of radioactive waste.
Australia, for the record, has no nuclear power industry. But from a high of 17.5 per cent in 1996, the share of global electricity demand supplied by nuclear has fallen to barely half that now.
Both of these must be explained! 🤔
Why would Australia 🇦🇺 go against the trend world-wise when other countries are realising the cost of burying all their toxic, nuclear waste.
Well that cutoff interview did not contribute much to the conversation! Why not let the guy have a bit more air time!
Out of time ??
massive mistake
How do we treat and safely dispose of Highly Radioactive waste Products as it untreatable and never goes away. No one has been able ever to date to do so.
The economy is stuffed anyway.
It does not matter
That interview was $hit! If you can’t give the guy the opportunity to speak and the listeners the benefit of the doubt regarding the nuance of the topic, then don’t bother wasting our time. Lift your game Sharri…🤨
Give the man time to answer the questions, 4 minutes is a joke.
Australia have largest Uranium reserve and Australian is not using Nuclear power plant... It is foolish... Like asking Saudi Arabia to don't drive petrol car.
Or asking German people to don't use Mercedes or BMW..
Country must use own resources to prosper own people.. 😇
With electric car electricity demand will go 25X in Australia.
If is it expensive then Vietnam, India, and other countries can afford... 😇
Tell the truth about the nuclear material criminals here who have been using it to torture people, mention Hemmett.
duh medical stocks will also rise
AZ-5
Good plan cheap power go Australia next Prime Minister Peter Dutton bold and decisive
Waste of time talking to you.
Sharri just found out he wasn't jabbed! Sorry we have to go.
