As I said, "Greentape" exists for a reason.  It stops fools like you from running rampant to the detriment of the environment and people.  Until you can prove you are safe you are considered unsafe as far as development goes.  You would love to be able to spew radioactivity across the countryside to the detriment of  the environment.  You would love to just put a reactor where you want without regard to people.  Lee you are a danger to yourself and everybody else.  Oh, poor, poor, Lee, held back by terrible "Greentape" from being able to spew radioactivity everywhere.  Boo, hoo.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... 

How many months?

Earmarking a lot of locations is not the same thing as selecting one.

A month to select the location of our very first nuclear power plant? That's a bit naive don't you think? Even a pretend public consultation period takes longer than that.

How long do you think it would take to prepare the tender documentation?

But it gives a range of options.

It depends on how real the attempt is.

And yet the same concerns do not worry you for wind or solar.

Please show where this radiation is coming from. Hint: It doesn't come from the power plants. There are radioactive emissions from coal.

Poor Bwian. Gets lost in his own rhetoric. So tell us more on the Montebellos, You know the corals, that apparently can't survive climate change, but can survive atomic blasts.

The Montebello Islands were the site of three atmospheric nuclear weapon tests by the British military: one in 1952, and two in 1956.[9][10]

HMS Plym, moored in Main Bay on Trimouille Island, was the site of Operation Hurricane, the first-ever atomic weapon tested by the United Kingdom, on 3 October 1952.[11][12]

While subsequent British tests were conducted at sites on mainland Australia, in 1956 there were two land-sited tower-mounted tests, on Trimouille and Alpha Islands.[13] The second of these, codenamed "Mosaic G2", was the largest nuclear explosion in Australia, with an official yield of 60 kilotons. Mosaic G2 was later described as an "exceptionally dirty explosion", whose fallout contaminated large areas of mainland Australia, as far away as the Queensland towns of Mount Isa, Julia Creek, Longreach and Rockhampton.[14][15][16]

it is a forbidden island because of the 1952 nuclear testing and remain forbidden till 2027

'Will be starting from scratch': Report paints grim picture of Australia's long road to nuclear power

A four-year-old report on Australia's nuclear power prospects has cast doubt over Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's plan to introduce a nuclear industry in the country if elected, with the study claiming it would take "decades" to build the workforce required and is "naive" to think a power plant could be built in less than 20 years.

And the fatalities or cancers from that?

So what is the residual radiation? Interested people want to know. Were they using LNT safeguards?

"The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency has classified the area as an “existing exposure situation” with radiation levels “not considered to be excessively dangerous”."

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/oct/08/radiation-hotspots-legacy...

What that article tells us is that we just don't know what the long -term effects of nuclear testing are.  As contamination was detected as far away as Gladstone in Queensland, we have potentially hundreds of thousands affected.
