Nuclear Power For Australia?

[sptrawler]

Took our new van (2nd hand 1 year old) to Bremer Bay recently for the 1st trip you would enjoy it everything works very comfortable, Bremer was stunning.

Yes Bremer bay is terrific, went there a few years ago and stayed at the caravan park, the rammed earth hotel motel was for sale for $1m.
The workmate we went with reckoned we should buy it, but we were getting paid too much at work, so we just had a few more beers. Lol

The small coves at Bremer are really nice, it's a shame it is a bit off the beaten track, but it is as busy as hell on holiday times, all the farmers go there. Lol

I like caravanning, the other half prefers travelling overseas, I prefer going bush, but I don't have the casting vote.

Big tech is investing in nuclear power plants.

Tech leaders are exploring nuclear power as a solution to the massive energy needs of their data centers, sustainability challenges, and the growing demands of their AI initiatives. SMRs, a new type​

of nuclear reactor, are gaining attention for their ability to provide round-the-clock power with minimal emissions.​

Well if nuclear reactors have been around on Earth for 2 billion years they must be alright ...

Oklo: Earth’s only natural nuclear reactor is a 2-billion-year-old atomic wonder​

French officials initially believed uranium was illicitly taken for unauthorized nuclear devices. Yet, the actual discovery was far more extraordinary.​

Long before humans conceptualized nuclear energy, nature had already engineered its own reactor. A geological marvel, a subterranean chamber where uranium ore, bathed in water, spontaneously ignited, creating Earth’s only natural nuclear reactor. This is not the plot of a science fiction novel; it is the Oklo nuclear reactor crafted by nature over billions of years.

Discovered in the depths of Gabon, West Africa, approximately 2 billion years ago, a series of rare and precise natural conditions came together to create what scientists today recognize as the Earth’s only known natural nuclear reactor. This discovery provides a rare peek into nature’s vast capabilities, enriching our understanding of nuclear physics and the potentialities of naturally occurring nuclear energy.

Journey through time to Oklo, Gabon, where Earth's natural processes miraculously mimicked a man-made nuclear reactor two billion years ago.
