Reactors won’t be commercially available until nearly 2050 at earliest – report Small modular reactors won’t be fully commercially available till the late 2040s at least, AAP reports, according to an independent grouping of Australia’s top technologists. Amid the public debate that erupted when the federal opposition announced its nuclear policy in June, the learned academy has released a report examining the reactors from a technology and engineering standpoint and found them wanting.
Katherine Woodthorpe, president of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering, told AAP: They are a chimera at the moment. They are not something today, where we could buy one and put one in and have it add any value to what we are trying to do in terms of reducing our carbon emissions.
