Coalition releases nuclear costings

ABC  

Samantha Donovan: Hello, welcome to PM. Luke Radford: The Coalition says under its plan Australia's first nuclear reactor would come online in 12 years' time, in 2036, with more to follow leading up to 2050. David Estcourt: Professor Maria Rost Rublee from Melbourne University says there's another problem with the Coalition's costings for its nuclear policy. David Sparkes: So the coalition's modelling, well, done on behalf of the coalition by Frontier Economics, puts its nuclear plan at somewhere north of $300 billion. David Sparkes: And since we're talking about costings today, what the coalition says about the cost of nuclear is quite different to the other big report that came out this week from the CSIRO, its GenCost report, which obviously puts the cost of nuclear a lot higher than what the coalition's modelling does.
