Department of the House of Representatives < 1 mins read

The House Select Committee on Nuclear Energy will hold its second public hearing in Canberra today. The parliamentary committee has been established to inquire into and report on the consideration of nuclear power generation in Australia.

The Committee Chair, Dan Repacholi MP, the Federal Member for Hunter, said “the Committee is looking forward to continuing to hear evidence from stakeholders who may have a role in any future federal nuclear energy policy in Australia, and experts with knowledge of nuclear energy. We are continuing to set the scene and gather information as to where Australia currently stands with regards to nuclear energy regulation and policy and how nuclear energy would fit into Australia’s current energy mix.”

Mr Repacholi explained that the hearings in Canberra were a foundation the Committee intended to use before travelling to communities that have been earmarked for nuclear energy plants.

The hearing can be accessed online. Programs for all hearings and further information about the inquiry, including the inquiry terms of reference are available on the Committee’s website.

The Select Committee on Nuclear Energy is seeking submissions by Friday, 15 November 2024.
