Is there though?
The global percentage required is about that, and is mostly existing nuclear plants.
And every year the projections for renewables tick upwards, leaving less room for anything else. So by the time any new nuclear actually arrives it'll be even less needed.
And that's global, where industries already exist, working plants already exist, and where some small percentage of people live in near polar regions.
Australia has none of that.
