The Costs of Introducing Nuclear Power to Australia Download

Description:

Australia currently relies heavily on carbon-intensive fuel sources for its electricity needs. This dependence results in one of the world’s highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions of any nation  (Marland et al., 2003), leading to global warming  (Houghton et al., 2001).    To ameliorate Australia’s carbon intensity from electricity, some have called for the development of nuclear-based electricity generation on the grounds that nuclear is a low-carbon form of energy.
