Labor to oppose nuclear power

The Federal Opposition says it will oppose nuclear power for Australia no matter what the report to Government on the issue says when it is handed down today. Dr Ziggy Switkowski's report into uranium mining and nuclear energy will be released today. It is tipped to present a range of options, including having up to 20 nuclear power plants. Opposition resources spokesman Martin Ferguson says the Opposition already has a clear position. "In pure economic terms, nuclear power does not stack up in Australia," he said.
