Can nuclear energy power Australia’s future? Four Corners investigates the potential and risks of nuclear energy for achieving net-zero emissions.

As Australia grapples with its energy future, nuclear power is being touted as a possible solution. But is it truly a feasible answer, or just an impractical dream?

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton argues that without embracing nuclear energy, Australia will not meet its net-zero emissions target.

Some point to examples abroad, particularly nations that have successfully integrated nuclear power into their energy systems, as potential models for Australia.

Nuclear Gamble, reported by Eric Campbell, airs on ABC TV on Monday, 7 October at 8:30pm. The episode will also be available on ABC iview.
