Date and time
This talk is presented by UNSW Engineering as part of the Engineering the Future 2022 series.
About this event
Nuclear technology adoption is already happening, why aren’t we talking about it more?
There is no denying the nuclear conversation is already happening and has progressed around the world – are we missing out on an opportunity? Nuclear technology and manufacturing are being innovated locally and Australia is well placed to become a world leader. So, what exactly does the future of nuclear technology look like? And where does Australia fit into the equation? How can we talk about nuclear technology in a way that is inclusive and realistic?
Join us for a lively discussion followed by audience Q&A about how leading nuclear experts approach the incredible opportunities and difficult issues around this historically disruptive technology that holds immense promise.
