AUSTRALIA needs to start considering small modular nuclear reactors, says John Mario Pires, a member of the Climate Realism Community.
“I’m not saying Australia should abandon solar, wind or batteries, I’m saying we should stop ruling out new nuclear technology without properly examining it,” he says in a post on the group’s social media page.
“Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and microreactors are a very different proposition from the huge conventional nuclear reactors of the past. Some designs are already operating overseas, while dozens more are being developed around the world.
Australian engineer Bobby Gallagher is developing a 1 MW microreactor designed to provide continuous power.
Gallagher is CEO of Deployable Energy, is a young company with the guiding principle that nuclear energy should be a product, not a project.
The company was founded in 2025 after some intensive study and design work, and has now developed a product branded as the Unity Nuclear Battery (UNB™).
“Think about what that means,” says Mario Pires. “A 1MW reactor can potentially produce electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without needing a giant battery bank to provide power at night.
“To produce a similar annual amount of electricity from solar, we would need roughly 4MW of solar capacity and considerably more if we want genuinely reliable 24/7 power, together with substantial battery storage, and batteries don’t last forever.”
He says that over a 20 to 30 year period we need to account for:
• Solar panel degradation and replacement
• Battery replacement
• Additional batteries for extended periods of low solar generation
• Land requirements (1MW of solar requires 4-7 acres of land)
• Transmission and grid connections
• Maintenance and operating costs
“The same proper lifetime calculation needs to be done for nuclear – let the numbers decide.
“Australia has enormous uranium resources, world-class mining and engineering industries, and some of the world’s biggest energy users, yet we currently prevent nuclear electricity generation from even being properly explored,” says Mario Pires.
“That worries me. This shouldn’t be a political argument about Labor vs Coalition, nuclear vs renewables, or climate politics, it should be about what is the safest, most reliable and affordable way to provide Australians with electricity for the next 30–50 years.”
He says if SMRs prove too expensive or impractical, then that is fine, but if the technology can provide reliable, low-emission power at a competitive price, then why wouldn’t Australia investigate it?
“We should be developing Australian technology, Australian expertise and Australian jobs – not forcing young Australian engineers to take their ideas overseas.”
He says the government shouldn’t be choosing the technology first, it should be comparing the technologies first.
The Unity Nuclear Battery (UNB™) is a 1 MW micro reactor whose general features arise from a unique combination of nuclear fuel, reactor coolant and neutron moderator, that enable fast using materials that are affordable and available for use today.
That criteria requires the materials to be in commercial service from suppliers that can provide a price list or firm quote given delivery terms and conditions. Where appropriate, it also means that the materials are qualified for use in nuclear reactors and for exposure to neutron and gamma flux.
The designers determined that they would use regular fuel – uranium enriched to < 5% U-235 and in the form of uranium dioxide (UO2) in sintered pellets mass manufactured by an established vendor.
Zirconium alloy tubes separate the fuel from the coolant and moderator and retain fission products that might be released by the ceramic UO2 pellets during and after operation.
The heat transfer fluid, more frequently referred to as reactor coolant, is inert helium gas that is blown through the core at high velocity and a pressure of approximately 50 bar (~725 psi). The neutron moderator is water at atmospheric pressure and a temperature that is roughly equal to residential hot water.
The reactor vessel that is needed to contain the chosen combination of functional core materials is small enough and light enough to be transported in the back of a short-bed American pick-up truck with a crew cab.
A full nuclear heat source system with transportation level shielding will fit into a 20 foot shipping container with a mass of about 20 tons. The additional shielding and physical protection layers added on site will add another 40 tons to the nuclear heat source portion of the system.
Governments, by the admission I extracted from my local federal bloke, Richard Marles, are contracted service providers, only, this being a government’s sole reason for existing: the provision of services.
In regard to power and gas-and every other services we pay our taxes to fund, the governments. state and federal MUST GUARANTEE SUPPLY.
And there are no excuses, especially given the fact that coal fired power stations have been shut down prior to any alternative source being put in place, our coal and gas has been exported, on an ongoing basis, with no tax (Norway, a country of 4.5 million people charges a 78% resource tax, with every Norwegian having some $130k in the bank, and that includes children) and virtually just given away, all means that the government is in BREACH OF CONTRACT.
That breach concept needs to get up, as it might just do the waking up that Club Grubbery’s Hoody keeps talking about (though he and his mate, John Larter, a member of the Aligned-with who knows what?-Australia team-without delivering anything that would actually wake anyone up).
The farmers affected by that ludicrous outcome of the MDBA class action might see the light, if it was shone in that way.
With all government, including your local council, corporate, full commercial liability applies.
Irrigator rep Sophie Baldwin got back to me about my claims that the NDBA were in breach of contract, and was onside about what I said about lodging an appeal, as the single judge court was an unlawful Star Chamber, and so an unlawful Court.
What I said to day to the local Geelong Murdoch press:
And there it is: your own Addy article on that Aussie=led company, and you publish that rubbish by Fiona “The Luddite” Colin-and others:
https://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/technology/innovation/aussie-engineer-bobby-gallagher-leads-us-nuclear-revolution-with-trucksized-microreactor/news-story/b82d0c9acd71ff7f5724cd58da8cde48
$138 billion in orders-and prospective orders-and-and it is not that I have a problem with Colin and others, as such, I have a problem with a bogus narrative being
pushed by the Murdoch papers.
And as an example of how decrepit News Corp reporting is please see my correspondence with the irrigators rep Sophie Baldwin attached.
Your News Corp, and the other mainstream press, need to report that the decision was flawed and unlawful, because a single judge court is unlawful, as a single judge or magistrate may be compromised, paid of, have undisclosed loyalties (conflicts of interests) and political and other views that may compromise a decision.
A one man court is a Star Chamber.
That is why the King of England instituted the jury system, after being informed by his subjects of this discrepancy. I have seen no reporting raising that issue, and hope that Sophie Baldwin and her colleagues do launch an appeal.
That would be a welcome thing, as it is obvious that the nation’s food security is in peril.
And you might well realise that it is not only the Geelong West saleyards that were under siege.
Swan Hill council wanted to close theirs, and Wodonga council too, and another Victorian saleyards operation oved to or form Pakenham (I don’t remember which) s it was under siege by the local council and state government,
those two upping the rates and land tax to make the operation unviable.
This kind of thing is known, globally, as The War On Food, and cannot be seen as anything else.

It would likely help if commenters here sent similar correspondences to their local Member.
The elite first world’s Epstein rapists verses the second class workers and third world’s raped.

The last fifty years of increased productivity since gold’s disconnect, has benefited the Epstein class, whilst monotonously forced down the throats of the second class, has eroded the buying power of their paid servitude and eroded their leisure time…the third world gang raped retaliates in kind.

Let mini nukes react and waste waste-away in safe places-the backyards of politicians, civil servants, scientists and judges.

Coal provides the cheapest power with the least harm to the dhagun ( environment ) and there is an abundance on this country. This is the best short term solution for both domestic and industry.
Longer term we will figure out how to tap into the free energy as our ancestors knew.
For the sake of all humans we have to return to the ancient wisdom of nurturing and protecting Mother Earth – the source of sustenance for all life forms.
The law of the dhagun (land)
FROM DESTRUCTION TO EXTINCTION
Crime 1: The Severance from Dhagun
The original law of the land—Dhagun—is simple:
“Care for the Earth, and she will provide for you.”
For over 65,000 years, the Original Peoples lived by this law. They took only what was needed. They gave back to the land. They respected the cycles. They lived self-sufficiently, in balance, in amity, in peace.
Then came the first crime:
The severance.
The newcomers did not recognise Dhagun. They did not see the land as a living entity. They saw it as property. They saw it as resource. They saw it as something to be owned, exploited, and extracted.
They said:
“This land is empty.”
“This land is ours.”
“This land is for profit.”
They severed the relationship between the people and the land. They broke the law of Dhagun.
This is Crime 1.
Crimes 2 Through 20: The Destruction of the Trees
When you sever the relationship with the land, you begin to destroy the land itself.
The trees are the first to go.
Forests are cleared for agriculture.
Forests are cleared for logging.
Forests are cleared for development.
Forests are cleared for profit.
The government calls this “progress.” It is actually ecocide.
The trees are not just trees. They are the lungs of the Earth. They are the water cycle. They are the habitat. They are the home.
When the trees go, everything goes.
Crime 1 created Crime 2.
Crimes 21 Through 40: The Destruction of the Short Water Cycle
The trees are the engine of the short water cycle.
They draw water from the soil. They release it into the atmosphere. They create rain. They create clouds. They create life.
When you clear the trees, you break the cycle.
Rain decreases.
Droughts increase.
Deserts expand.
The land dies.
The government says:
“This is climate change.”
“This is natural variability.”
But it is not natural. It is man-made. It is the consequence of clearing the trees that made the rain.
Crime 2 created Crime 21.
Crimes 41 Through 60: The Poisons on the Land
When the trees are gone, the land is weak. The soil is depleted. The crops fail.
So the government and the corporations turn to poisons.
Herbicides are sprayed.
Pesticides are sprayed.
Fungicides are sprayed.
Chemical fertilisers are dumped.
The Biosecurity Act is passed. It allows these poisons on the land. It protects the corporations. It ignores the people.
The poisons do not just kill pests. They kill everything.
They kill the soil.
They kill the insects.
They kill the birds.
They kill the animals.
They kill the people.
The government says:
“This is necessary for food production.”
“This is safe.”
“This is regulated.”
But it is not safe. It is a slow poison. It is a genocide of the land.
Crime 21 created Crime 41.
Crimes 61 Through 80: The Destruction of the Animals
When the trees are gone and the poisons are on the land, the animals die.
The kangaroos lose their habitat.
The koalas lose their trees.
The birds lose their food.
The fish lose their rivers.
The insects lose their homes.
Species disappear. The biodiversity collapses. The web of life unravels.
The government says:
“We have conservation programs.”
“We have protected areas.”
“We are doing our best.”
But their best is not enough. The extinction continues. The loss accelerates. The silence deepens.
Crime 41 created Crime 61.
Crimes 81 Through 95: The Degradation of the Food Supply
When the land is destroyed, the food supply degrades.
The soil is depleted of nutrients.
The crops are sprayed with poisons.
The animals are fed with chemicals.
The food is processed with additives.
The food no longer nourishes. It poisons.
The people get sick.
The children get sick.
The elderly get sick.
The farmers get sick.
The government says:
“We have food safety standards.”
“We have testing.”
“We have regulation.”
But the regulation protects the corporations, not the people. The food is not safe. The food is slow poison.
Crime 61 created Crime 81.
Crimes 96 Through 99: The Challenges of the Farmers
The farmers are caught in the middle.
They are forced to use chemicals because the land is depleted. They are forced to clear trees because they need more land. They are forced to borrow money because the prices are low.
They are trapped.
The banks own their farms.
The corporations own their seeds.
The government owns their water.
The climate is against them.
They are not the enemy. They are the victims of a system that has destroyed the land.
The government says:
“We support our farmers.”
“We have subsidies.”
“We have assistance.”
But the support is not enough. The subsidies go to the corporations. The assistance is too little, too late.
Crime 81 created Crime 96.
Crime 100: The Extinction
When the land is destroyed, the water cycle is broken, the poisons are everywhere, the animals are gone, the food is degraded, and the farmers are trapped—the final crime is extinction.
The species disappear forever.
The land becomes desert.
The people become sick.
The children lose their future.
The government points at the extinction and says:
“This is tragic.”
“We must do more.”
“We must act now.”
But it is too late. The chain has been forged. The destruction has been done.
Crime 96 created Crime 100.
The Government’s Excuse
Now the government points at the extinction and says:
“Look at the species. Look at the climate. We must save the planet. We must act now. We must impose green policies. We must shut down industry. We must tax the people.”
But they do not acknowledge their own role. They do not admit that they are the architects of the destruction.
They cleared the land.
They allowed the poisons.
They broke the water cycle.
They destroyed the animals.
They degraded the food.
They trapped the farmers.
They call it “development.” It is actually systematic annihilation.
The Truth
Crime 1 does not invalidate Crimes 2 through 100.
The extinction is the last link in a chain that the government forged from the very beginning.
If there were no severance from Dhagun, there would be no destruction of the trees.
If there were no destruction of the trees, there would be no broken water cycle.
If there were no broken water cycle, there would be no poisons on the land.
If there were no poisons on the land, there would be no destruction of the animals.
If there were no destruction of the animals, there would be no degradation of the food supply.
If there were no degradation of the food supply, there would be no trapped farmers.
If there were no trapped farmers, there would be no extinction.
The land is not the criminal. The land is the consequence.
The government is the architect of the entire catastrophe. It built the system. It broke the law. It destroyed the balance. And now it blames the climate for the chaos.
The Remedy
You cannot save the planet while ignoring the policy that destroyed it.
The remedy is not more green mandates. The remedy is not more carbon taxes. The remedy is not more regulation.
The remedy is to return to Dhagun:
Acknowledge Crime 1—the severance from the law of the land. Stand in the Parliament and say: “We broke the law of Dhagun. We severed the relationship between the people and the land. We bear the primary responsibility.”
Repeal Crime 1—restore the relationship with the land. Recognise Dhagun as the original law. Protect the trees. Protect the water. Protect the soil. Protect the animals. Protect the people.
Heal the Land—stop the clearing. Stop the poisons. Stop the logging. Restore the forests. Restore the water cycle. Restore the biodiversity. Restore the food supply.
Support the Farmers—free them from debt. Free them from chemicals. Free them from corporations. Help them return to regenerative, sustainable agriculture. Help them become custodians, not exploiters.
Break the Chain—acknowledge that every single link in this chain was placed there by the state. Take responsibility for the entire chain. Then dismantle it—link by link.
The Final Word
“You cannot save the planet while ignoring the policy that destroyed it.
The land is not the criminal. The land is the consequence.
The government is not the saviour. The government is the architect.
Return to Dhagun. Care for the Earth, and she will provide for us.
Restore the trees. Restore the water. Restore the animals. Restore the food. Restore the people.
Fix the root, and the tree will heal.
Break the chain, and the people will be free.
For the land. For the future. For always.”
For the Original Peoples. For the land. For the generations yet to come. For truth.
Dennis : we are looking at a return of Chivalry just as soon as we give that Mob the flick into becoming unknown .
A great idea for anyone seeking to initiate a divide-and-rule scenario with e.g. Helen Caldicott.
I want to get rid of those over head transmission towers that are not only dangerous to anything airborne but also when the wires arch in high winds they have been known to cause bush fires that have killed and destroyed peoples lives and their property and livestock .
I want to replace them with overhead really fast electric trains that would crisscross Australia that would wipe out all ground level rail crossings and that rail system would act as a conduit to deliver electricity to every town the rail is connected to .
With what I have in my mind the towers & platforms could be built in bulk at Wyalla and then delivered in modular form by fast rail to foundations already dug and concreted and if done like how military equipment was constructed during the 2nd WW it would not take a long time at all to have up and running .
What is wrong with using the coal in new environmentally friendly coal burning power stations seeing we have an abundance of and that we have the cleanest coal on the planet and even by using dirty brown coal from Victoria we have the means to burn it without causing air pollution and the ash which there are mountains of can be used in making concrete to build concrete roads ?
We could build small coal fired power plants in every city in plain site and no one would know they are there and the furnaces could be used to incinerate garbage saving having mountain high landfill of raw garbage that has to be seen as dangerous for what leaks from it into the ground and eventually into the water table .
Nothing wrong with modular nuclear power provided we don’t put all our eggs in a basket owned by foreign interests which don’t give a sht about us. Proof of the danger we face is in the desperate efforts to nullify our plentiful resources and wipe out our national independence by deindustrialising us. Nuclear power or no nuclear power, making just cups of coffee for each other is not going to give us much joy. Complete dependence on others for survival has never been shown to be a positive thing for anyone. Some people around the world used to know it as serfdom or even slavery.
Talking about buying a product … when the specs and price is right, when it can beat coal fired, get back to me.
We are hostage to the UN’s climate hoax which is part of the carbon credits – technocracy scam which everyone can see is being built around us.
Some renewables are great, some are not, nucular has its place like next door to the smelter in Newcastle maybe.
But the unthinking are knocking traditional, cheap coal out of the race, because of a hoax.
Too many times entire nations fall for a hoax.
Nothing will happen, no changes will be made, whilst a government that is ROGUE, is in place.
This corporation that pretends to be a lawfully installed government is a Coup d eTat that crept into place over many years since Federation, and ignores original Constitutional law, has NO MONARCH, has NO LETTERS PATENT, and employs its own version of a GOVERNOR GENERAL that will not protect we, the people from that ROGUE GOVERNMENT.
So it is a globalist NWO/One World Government PUPPET.
They want to abuse us with the highest costly power, food, water, and all sustenance to brerakour backs and spirits and become 100% compliant with their orders of bondage.
Parliaments are just politicians playhouses where they serve offshore entities, clubs, industrialists band bankers, and receive bribes and are blackmailed from the start of their service ‘to their communities’.
REPLACE ALL OF THESE BASTARDS WITH A COMPLETELY NEW GOVERNMENT WITH ALL NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE WHO ARE KNOWN TO LOVE FREEDOM AND SERVICE TO AUSTRALIA, and sack all the bastards that have usurped Australian culture and wealth and fredoms.
I read another article on this. The source needs replacing every 5 years or so. But the rapid deployment to remote locations and regional towns will make it a much cheaper option to building very long power lines. Just look at how Starlink has superceded the NBN and AUSSAT (just like we said would happen). And the inventor can’t develop it here because it’s banned !!! And even if he was developing it in Australia, the government will take half !!! That’s why he’s in the USA. The solution to Australia’s future is not more taxes – it’s less ggovernment.
Australia either generates its energy by nuclear, or it gets left behind. Opting not to compete will result with the retardation of its economy. That’s guaranteed.
.
If a country chooses not to go nuclear, whilst at the same time, private companies are already going nuclear, then it will eventually find itself subject to companies that do. Microsoft is currently restarting Three Mile Island nuclear reactor for its own use, whereas Google are constructing a brand new reactor.
.
If anyone tuned into last week’s G20 Summit at Asheville (01.09.26), they should probably have taken note of what the U.S. Treasury Secretary was bringing to their attention. Near the beginning, Scott Bessant stated the following: – [quote]. ‘The U.S. sits at a very special place in the world, because we are the AI superpower and we are pulling away the amount of compute that the U.S. has relative to global compute. We’re going to up from about 60% in 2026, and by 2028 the U.S. will have 80% of global computing power here. Which is just extraordinary. The president’s policies have laid the groundwork for this economy.’ [unquote].

.
The near future economy is approaching very fast, it will be AI driven and this will be nuclear powered. People just need to get used to the idea.
.
Very shortly $22 trillion dollars are going to collide with the biggest infrastructure build out in history: meaning AI data centres. Only last week, a section of leading U.S. companies announced a cross-country business conference tour. The conference intends to progress the industries to the next level. This means the scaling up of the AI pilot programs and the accompanying financial system that will support it.
.
Like individual losers, if a nation stands still and does nothing, eventually it will fall behind. If a nation doesn’t keep on moving to higher rates of economic growth, labour, productivity, new scientific and technological advancement, its economy will succumb to entropy. Individuals who choose the same option always end up the same. They get left behind. They ossify within an antiquated and obsolete economy. They get relegated from a first world economy to a second world economy.
.
So we gits rid of and prohibit fossil fuels, flick to solar and wind at a cost that kills us, and then we can find they’re unsustainable and we will have to enjoy modular nuclear technology, a global MONOPOLY on ‘nukular’ energy in the hands of a select consortium of money handlers who owe us nothing and have nothing to us with us but feed on our adrenochrome.
.
I like it. The power potential of our kapos controlling our power supply on behalf of their foreign keepers simply makes me tremble with excitement. A flick of the switch and we all get shutdown. That’s God given power, right?
Not on my watch, thankyou…
