I don't believe Australia plans on going to Nuclear any time soon.
For those of you interested you can see a complete breakdown of our power generation here: https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/?range=1d&interval=30m https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/?range=1d&interval=30m
Of interest is SA which has a wind/solar/gas mix, Tasmania which is Hydro/Wind, and Vic/NSW/Qld who are all still heavily using fossil fuels.

Yeah, so they'll use natural gas and coal as baseload. >For those of you interested you can see a complete breakdown of our power generation here: https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/?range=1d&interval=30m https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/?range=1d&interval=30m Expand the range to more than a day, and yeah, Gas+Imports(Coal?) is ~40%, so you're stuck on fossil fuels forever. South Australia is also so small that it's almost pointless to use as a data point.
