​Nuclear for Australia Founder Will Shackel says it “makes absolute sense” to scrap the nation’s ban on nuclear energy. ​“Australia should lift the ban on nuclear power, take advantage of our natural resources and strengths,” Mr Shackel told News24. ​“When it comes to nuclear, we’ve got the largest uranium reserves in the world, we've got decades of experience managing research reactors, and we’re developing a nuclear industry, so it just makes sense to at least consider adding nuclear power in our energy mix.”
