DEAR News Of The Area,

I WASN’T aware that there were caves in Fernbrook, but Martin Smith has emerged from his to present to you and your readers a lengthy article decrying nuclear power.

In his article to strengthen his argument he tells a lie.

There are three Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) at this present time operating in Russia and China and in the many nations of the world, presently, there are about 50 SMRs under construction, some of which are near to becoming operational.

Here in Australia, we have at Lucas Heights near Sydney a nuclear reactor which has been producing medical radioisotopes and it produces material or carries out analyses for the mining industry, for forensic purposes and for research since 1958.

I don’t know how big the reactor is, but possibly it could be called a Small Modular Reactor.

Martin, if we are to do anything to ward off climate change we must consider nuclear power as it is the most clean form of energy.

It won’t happen in my time as I’ll be 93-years-old in October, but it will happen.

Go back into your cave and stay out of the cold.

Regards,
James MCTAGGART,
