CSIRO has 'big adjustments to make' on their nuclear power cost report

Centre for Independent Studies Energy Program Director Aidan Morrison discusses the price estimate changes from CSIRO regarding nuclear power.

There are concerns that nuclear energy is unfeasible due to high costs, per reports from CSIRO.

“Last week they were saying it's six times as expensive as renewables, this week they’re saying its only about two times,” Mr Morrison told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“And there’s some big adjustments to make yet.

“For example, nuclear power plants tend to last between 60 and 80 years. At the moment their model only assumes they’ll last for about 30."
