We need to talk about Nuclear Technology
Tuesday 16 August from 6pm to 8pm
There is no denying the nuclear conversation is already happening and has progressed around the world – are we missing out on an opportunity?
Nuclear technology and manufacturing are being innovated locally and Australia is well placed to become a world leader. So, what exactly does the future of nuclear technology look like? And where does Australia fit into the equation? How can we talk about nuclear technology in a way that is inclusive and realistic?
Join us for a lively discussion followed by an audience Q&A about how leading nuclear experts approach the incredible opportunities and difficult issues around this historically disruptive technology that holds immense promise.
