Australia, one of the last countries in the world not to embrace nuclear power, is considering a course change that could see the country end its decades-long opposition to the energy source.
With less than a year to go until the Australian election, the Liberal National Coalition parties are making nuclear power a central part of their policy platform to topple the current Labor government. This is partly due to their historical opposition to renewables and recent polls showing that more Australians than ever are open to nuclear power.
If they win the election next May, the Coalition has pledged to build nuclear reactors at seven sites in Australia by 2050.
