Monday’s Four Corners report “Nuclear Gamble” by Eric Campbell looks to questions around Australia’s proposal to increase nuclear energy.
Is nuclear a viable answer to Australia’s energy woes or is it a quixotic quest never to be realised?
Peter Dutton says without nuclear we’ll never reach net zero, yet his own party’s former leader, Malcolm Turnbull, says it’s a “dangerously stupid” idea.
Many say the answer lies overseas – in countries that have already embraced nuclear as a part of their energy puzzle.
In Nuclear Gamble, reporter Eric Campbell travels to the largest producer of nuclear energy in the world and the place where atomic energy all began – the United States of America – to find out if we should go all in on this controversial energy solution.
Monday 7 October at 8.30pm on ABC.
