Australia’s pro nuclear politicians want to be nuclear industry leaders
AUSTRALIA JOINS INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR RESEARCH FORUM 29 Apr 2016
Australia has overnight been approved as a member of the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), a co‑operative international endeavour, joining 12 other nations and the European Union to work together on long‑term research on advanced nuclear technologies.
The Forum develops Generation IV technology and addresses not only the construction and operation of the next generation of nuclear power reactors, but also considers fuel efficiency, reducing waste production, and meeting stringent standards of safety and proliferation resistance.
Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science Christopher Pyne said Australia’s success in gaining membership is based on the landmark research infrastructure and world-class research capabilities and expertise at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) to contribute to the GIF’s goals.
“Australia’s invitation to join this important global project marks an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of global innovation in the nuclear industry,” Mr Pyne said…..GIF research is focused on six reactor designs that will deliver safe, secure, sustainable, competitive and versatile nuclear technology…
[Frydenberg]“This forum will help develop the technologies that will be integral to the future of the international nuclear industry.”https://www.pyneonline.com.au/media-centre/media-releases/australia-joins-international-nuclear-research-forum
