QMCA is going nuclear!
Join QMCA for our latest Networking Breakfast, where we will investigate the opportunities, practicalities, and realities of using nuclear power to support the nation’s transition to net zero.
Featuring keynote presentations from Adi Paterson, the former CEO of the Australian Nuclear and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) that operates Australia’s Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor and a leading expert on Nuclear Science and Energy and Stephen Wilson, Adjunct Professor at The University of Queensland and one of the nation’s leading energy economists and a panel discussion. This is our industry’s opportunity to get under-the-skin of the key issues without the emotion and hyperbole that nuclear energy creates.
From the potential to support renewables as a carbon-free baseload power source, to technological advances that are seeing pre-fabricated small-scale reactors being deployed in other markets, nuclear power can reduce a country’s dependence on fossil fuel imports, increasing energy security while minimising carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. But, on the other hand, there are concerns associated with nuclear power, such as the potential for accidents, access and consumption of water and the safe disposal of nuclear waste.
So where does the truth lie? This is your opportunity to find out. Join us at Victoria Park Function Centre on Wednesday, 31 May, at 7:00am for this not-to-be-missed industry event.
