Analyzing Nuclear Power in Australia
Australia is unique in having a range of energy resources; fossil fuel, oil and uranium as well as a variety of potential sources of renewable energy (wind, water etc). Although Federal and state government policies on matters nuclear have frequently changed direction, a constant feature of the debate over this period has been the fervor with which proponents and opponents have presented their views.
The potential for nuclear power to be part of Australia’s energy fuel mix has been raised publicly in recent months. Those calling for a debate on the issue have included not only the traditional supporters of nuclear power but also the Prime Minister, politicians and other groups who consider the contribution nuclear power can make to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions may outweigh previous concerns about safety.
The report – Analyzing Nuclear Power in Australia – by Aruvian's R'search, explores the importance of nuclear power in today’s world, with Section One being dedicated to Understanding the Basics of Nuclear Power. The report looks at the basics of the nuclear industry that is, how a plant works, analyzing and understanding the fuel cycle, the various components which are involved in the working of a nuclear power plant, and much more. Economics, issues and barriers, and other such factors are also explored in-depth in this report.
Aruvian’s offering includes a complete analysis of the Australian Nuclear Power Industry, including an industry profile, industry developments, Uranium fuel cycle developments, and lots more information is included in this research report. This research offering from Aruvian is a comprehensive A to Z guide on the Australian nuclear power industry.
