Like former Liberal prime minister John Gorton, Peter Dutton has become as convinced as his predecessor about the nuclear path. But can Dutton succeed where Gorton failed?

Peter Dutton’s minor cabinet reshuffle, paired with the announcement of his nuclear energy policy, makes it hard to decide whether Peter Dutton is a gambler at heart or ultra-cautious.
Underground thermal networks have the potential to revolutionize how Canadians heat their homes while helping to reduce carbon emissions.
What if plants in the area surrounding a nuclear reactor could act as radiation detectors, with the help of a drone?
Donald Trump has threatened to not defend some NATO countries if Russia attacks them. But the US also benefits from the power that NATO gives it, as well as the stability it helped create in Europe.
Civil nuclear energy maintains the skills and supply chains needed for nuclear subs and weapons.
The South African government says a renewable energy future is more expensive than other options. But one expert says the costing is wrong.
A climate of fear about international war inspired Eisenhower’s Atoms of Peace speech in 1953, his words about global peace seem relevant to global peace today.
Small modular reactors may hold the key to Canada’s net-zero energy future.
When Australia’s government and opposition argue over how to get to net zero emissions, nuclear power is the flashpoint. The argument against nuclear is stronger, but not for the obvious reason.
The costing, put out by the Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, is a pre-emptive strike against the opposition, which is moving to include nuclear power in the energy policy it takes to the next election
For this podcast we caught up with Western Australian Premier Roger Cook, and canvassed issues like the cultural heritage law backdown, and the Voice.
Peter Dutton has been open since the election about nuclear energy being on the Coalition’s agenda - but that has allowed the government, especially Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, to attack the idea
20 years ago, solar and wind were expensive enough to make nuclear seem like an option for Australia. With cheap renewables a reality, there’s simply no point to domestic nuclear.
As long as nuclear power plants continue to operate, we are frighteningly vulnerable not only to severe accidents, but also to the weaponisation of these facilities.
International nuclear experts are due to visit Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant in the next few days to assess threats from the nearby dam attack.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says the plant has enough water to last for several months. What happens afterward or if the remaining water is lost to the war could lead to a disaster.
Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the attack on crucial civilian infrastructure. Experts explain what the incident means for future war plans, and for the safety of the affected region.
A new process to quickly remove radioactive chemicals from water and other liquids and trap them in a clay-like substance could make nuclear waste management much easier.
And it’s because France had to shut many of its nuclear plants.
