This has somewhat to do with my line of work.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200606/s1655783.htm

Does anyone know where this report can be found?.
Did it only include Boiling- and Pressured Water Reactors or did they also investigate the use of Evaporated Water Reactors, CanDU or DHU reactors types?

DHU or CanDU reactors require almost no enrichment facilities and are proven clean and easy to dismantle reactors. The only problem is the high price of the deuteriumdioxide and hafnium isotopes. Deuterium and hafnium are the most stable nuclear moderators nature provides us with. It can easily scale down the fission proces of Light Enriched Uranium (1,4 % Uranium-235) to the power needs.

Thanks in advance.
 
:-D :-D nou geef mij maar een sterke bak thee.........met melk :)

Geeeeeeen idee of je dit bedoelt Koffieleut, maar als ik het artikel zo lees betreft het een report van ANSTO, een search op ANSTO en de titel van het report leveren min of meer deze website op....

En hier nog wat Nuclear info.......

Reactor sites not included in inquiry
Tuesday Jun 6 08:56 AEST
Science Minister Julie Bishop has rejected Labor's push to include reactor locations in a federal inquiry into nuclear power, saying debate about sites is premature.

Federal cabinet will take the first major step towards an Australian nuclear industry when it signs off on an inquiry into the controversial energy source.

Prime Minister John Howard will take a proposal to cabinet for a wide-ranging investigation by a panel of experts, but he has refused to say where he thinks any potential reactors should be located.

A scientific review said at least three and possibly five plants would be required, and the Opposition says potential sites must be part of the inquiry's terms of reference.

But Ms Bishop said she was not aware of any list of potential sites and it was too early consider where reactors would be built.

"First things first. What we have to look at is whether or not it's a viable alternative," she told the Nine network.

"There is considerable international experience. Australia is one of the few, perhaps the only mature market economy that doesn't have any nuclear capacity.

"There are over 440 nuclear power stations around the world and we should see if it's viable for Australia."

The process for finding nuclear reactor sites would be no different from investigating locations for any power station.

"In terms of a site, if you were going to build any form of power station, a coal fired power station for example, many many places would be ruled out because you need the appropriate environment, land mass and the like," Ms Bishop said.

"So the consideration of any site for any power station would be a separate exercise."

And

Beattie rules out nuclear reactor in Qld
Monday Jun 5 09:47 AEST
The Queensland government would never jeopardise its successful coal industry and support the building of a nuclear power plant in the state, Premier Peter Beattie says.

The mining city of Mt Isa in north-west Queensland has been identified in a 1997 cabinet submission as a possible site for a nuclear reactor along with 13 other locations in Australia.

Mr Beattie has ruled out uranium mining in Queensland to protect the state's huge coal industry and said he would also not support a nuclear power plant.

"The state government would not support it," Mr Beattie told journalists.

"We have the power to block them and we would block them, we would not support nuclear power."

Mr Beattie said much of Queensland's healthy financial state stemmed from coal industry royalties.

"Why would we have a nuclear reactor in competition with the coal industry?" he said.

"I just find it mind numbingly stupid that we would undermine one of the most important industries in this country.

"It's dumb with a big D and it's going to get no with a big N."
