The Australian government has announced an inquiry into nuclear energy and the nuclear fuel cycle – the first in more than 10 years – at the request of energy minister Angus Taylor.
MP Ted O’Brien, chair of the standing committee on the environment and energy, will lead the inquiry.
“This will be the first inquiry into the use of nuclear energy in Australia in more than a decade and I believe it’s the first time the Australian Parliament has ever undertaken such an inquiry,” Mr O’Brien said.
