Nuclear industry to push for Australia to adopt 'clean, affordable power'

Australian Nuclear Association plans to lobby Turnbull government to embrace the technology 'to create jobs and economic opportunity'

The nuclear industry will lobby for nuclear energy in Australia, saying the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, should embrace the technology as a way to slash greenhouse gas emissions.

The Australian Nuclear Association (ANA) will accompany Danny Roderick, chief executive of the leading US nuclear technology firm Westinghouse, to talk to government ministers and business leaders in Canberra and Sydney next week.
