About this listen
Here’s a bonus treat for you: in our chat with Janne Wallenius, we took a detour to explore whether nuclear energy could really have a place in Australia’s future.
As Australia phases out coal and renewables surge ahead, nuclear power has re-entered the national debate. But is it viable? Could Janne Wallenius and Blykalla’s Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) play a role in the country’s energy transition?
We unpack what Australia can learn from Sweden’s nuclear rollout, whether SMRs could repurpose old coal plant sites, and what hurdles stand in the way—from workforce shortages and regulatory roadblocks to public perception.
With momentum quietly building, could Australia take the nuclear leap? Or is it just another shiny distraction on the path to meaningful climate action? Let’s dive in.
