South Australian Chamber of Mining and Energy chief executive Rebecca Knol said it was past time Australia looked into a nuclear future.
"We are the only G20 nation that has a prohibition on nuclear," she said. "We won't have solved our decarbonisation issues in 10 years.
“If we don't start planning for nuclear, we are going to de-industrialise our nation because it will be cheaper to produce steel, glass … everything offshore.”
Ms Knol said fears regarding the
word "nuclear" had become mythological. "We provide 28 per cent of the world's uranium," she said.
"We have boasted a 35-year unblemished record of safe uranium handling and transportation.
"We host one of the only ports in the nation that is approved for the export of uranium products, and we have an exceptionally well developed regulatory regime which governs the uranium supply chain."
