Nuclear power is not considered in the Integrated Systems Plan (ISP) as the report is required to take into account existing Federal and State Government law and policy. Nuclear generation is currently banned under Australian law. The latest GenCost report, produced in collaboration with CSIRO on the cost of building future electricity generation, finds nuclear generation to be a lot more expensive than other options to generate electricity. It should also be noted that the time it would take to design and build nuclear generation on a significant scale in Australia may be too slow to replace retiring coal fired generation, as coal-fired generators look to close within a decade.
