Is it true Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world but do not have a single nuclear power plant?

Is it true Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world but do not have a single nuclear power plant?

it's true that they have the largest urine reserves and that they drink it

>tfw 2nd after Australia
>dictatorship
>but still no nukes

Do you want nukes because you think Russia might invade you?

A nuclear power plant isn't economically worthwhile when the country is filled with coal too

>also filled with cheaper coal
>no water to cool down reactors

haha but le epic forced piss in mouth maymay

Nuclear power plants are super expensive as fuck. It's just the nature of of it.

lmao what? of course it is. nuclear powerplants are ALWAYS economically viable. it would be economically viable if there was infinite coal right next to the coal powerplant

except it isn't

a nuclear power plant costs significantly more to set up and maintain than a comparable coal power plant in Australia. The variable cost of output is cheaper, but upfront costs are significantly more

Also the nuclear power plants used across europe wouldn't work properly in Australia. They need to to be modular, small sized generating units, low unit costs and load following capabilities. No existing nuclear power plant system exists with those features, so Australia would need to spend billions developing the required technology while coal power plants already meet those requirements.
