Australia will get nuclear power, top nuclear scientist confident

“We will learn from the tragic Japanese experience how to build more robust reactors, how to ensure multiple layers of protection work properly, how to better contain radioactive gases.” – Ziggy

Ziggy Switkowski,   nuclear physicist, and chief of Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, is confident that there will be only a short term halt in the nuclear renaissance.

Ziggy’s been explaining on Australian TV (Channel 10 News 14/3/11) and print media (THE AUSTRALIAN, 14/3/11), how Australia doesn’t need to worry about earthquakes and nuclear power, and does need nuclear energy. Indeed, Ziggy looks forward to the boost that nuclear power development will get, from studying the defects in the Japanese nuclear reactors. In this way, the nuclear renaissance will thrive again. Though I dunno that it was thriving even before the Japan disaster, now that I come to think of it. – Christina Macpherson
