Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is an early adopter of new technology and Australians are usually receptive to practical innovations. Nuclear power is, however, the notable exception. Over the past half-century, several inquiries have recognised the potential benefits and possible advantages of a local nuclear industry but a single nuclear power station has yet to proceed beyond the concept stage. Submarines represent the most extensive application of nuclear power throughout the world, other than for industrial and household use. In 2016, the Australian Government announced that the 12 French-designed Attack class submarines replacing the ageing Collins class would be 'regionally superior' but conventionally powered. Nuclear propulsion was not considered. This collection of thoughtful essays by highly experienced policy-makers, nuclear engineers, energy analysts and strategic planners considers the case for establishing an Australian nuclear industry, starting with the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines to meet Australia's rapidly changing defence needs. The contributors call for an informed discussion of nuclear power that transcends the ideological rigidities of the 1980s and 1990s. Their insightful views provide a firm foundation for a continuing conversation the nation cannot avoid. Professor Tom Frame AM is Director of the Public Leadership Research Group at UNSW Canberra and a former naval officer.

Book Synopsis Australian Nuclear Stewardship and Nuclear Powered Submarines by : Seelan Nerio
Download or read book Australian Nuclear Stewardship and Nuclear Powered Submarines written by Seelan Nerio and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis on Australian Nuclear Stewardship and Nuclear Powered Submarines provides a comprehensive analysis of Australia's nuclear landscape in the context of the AUKUS pact and the development of nuclear-powered submarines. It includes an examination of the United States' nuclear programs to draw insights for Australia, proposing a tailored nuclear stewardship framework suited to the Australian context. The study addresses current and future challenges and opportunities in developing this framework for naval propulsion and potential commercial applications. In the United States' context, nuclear stewardship often refers to stockpile stewardship, that is, the framework that ensures the United States continued safe, secure, and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile. To be explicitly clear, Australia will not procure or develop a nuclear weapons stockpile. In this thesis, Nuclear Stewardship refers to the responsible planning, operation, and leadership of nuclear facilities and technologies to ensure that the highest levels of safety, security, and safeguards are achieved for the people of Australia. The findings emphasize the importance of robust nuclear stewardship for safe, secure, and responsible nuclear development in Australia, while offering strategic guidance for policymakers and stakeholders. It also proposes a structure for the Australian Submarine Agency that ensures robust nuclear stewardship is designed into its everyday operation, including in-built internal and external independence from mission imperatives. This work contributes to the broader discourse on nuclear energy in Australia and hopefully will serve as a foundation for future research in the rapidly evolving field of nuclear engineering and technology.

Book Synopsis Fact or Fission? by : Richard Broinowski
Download or read book Fact or Fission? written by Richard Broinowski and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated and authoritative account of Australia’s involvement with nuclear power, including the AUKUS nuclear submarine pact. Based on previously classified files and interviews with some of Australia’s prominent politicians and diplomats, the first edition of Fact or Fission? revealed that the nation’s nuclear policies had a chequered history. We sold, and continue to sell, uranium abroad, but rejected plans to build nuclear reactors in Australia. We switched from wanting our own nuclear weapons during the Cold War to giving strong support for a sane international non-proliferation regime. But now the narrative needs updating. Since the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, an increasingly uncritical acceptance in Canberra of Washington’s war-fighting policies — nuclear and conventional — has encouraged the very things that Australia once so vigorously and moralistically opposed. The latest step was taken at the end of 2021 with the announcement that the Navy will acquire nuclear-propelled submarines from either the UK or US. If the deal ever goes through, these submarines will likely be deployed as part of an American strategy to contain China. But if successive US administrations continue to vacillate in their policies towards their allies, or are unable or unwilling to defend us, Australian hawks may see arming the submarines with nuclear weapons as the only way Australia can defend itself against a resurgent China. Richard Broinowski concludes that Australia’s foreign policy has become militarised, with key departments and militant think-tanks in Canberra calling the shots in pursuing an aggressive policy towards China. Such activities profoundly endanger Australia’s own security.

Should the next generation of submarines be nuclear powered? Can nuclear energy help to slow global climate change? Do we need nuclear weapons for defence? Should we store radioactive waste from nuclear power stations in our region? Long Half-life is a timely and riveting account of the political, social and scientific complexities of the nuclear industry, revealing the power of vested interests, the subjectivities of scientists and the transformative force of community passion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and important book about Australia’s future Can Australia defend itself in the Asian century? How seriously ought we take the risk of war? Do we want to remain a middle power? What kind of strategy, and what Australian Defence Force, do we need? In this groundbreaking book, Hugh White considers these questions and more. With exceptional clarity and frankness, he makes the case for a reconceived defence of Australia. Along the way he offers intriguing insights into history, technology and the Australian way of war. Hugh White is the country’s most provocative, revelatory and yet realistic commentator on Australia’s strategic and defence orientation. In an age of power politics and armed rivalry in Asia, it is time for fresh thinking. In this controversial and persuasive contribution, White sets new terms for one of the most crucial conversations Australia needs to have. ‘This book, by one of Australia’s leading defence policy thinkers, will be a very important contribution to our national discussion in coming years. Hugh White tackles many challenging issues and opens up the new debate that we need to have as Australia plots its course through a changing international environment.’—Robert O’Neill, former Chichele Professor of the history of war, University of Oxford ‘Hugh White is among our most knowledgeable and practised strategists. While I am strongly supportive of the US alliance, How to Defend Australia is a serious work from a serious patriot that requires close reading. It deserves a wide audience.’—Kim Beazley
Download or read book Nuked written by Andrew Fowler and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all military acquisition programs worth billions of dollars, Australia’s decision to buy a new submarine fleet was expected to be a torturous process. But no one could have predicted the trail of wreckage it left behind, from the boulevards of Paris to the dockyards of Adelaide, as deep inside the Australian Government a secret group conspired to overthrow the winning French bid. In this tale of treachery and intrigue, Andrew Fowler exposes the lies and deception that so outraged the President of France. Interviewing many of the main people involved and talking to sources in Paris, London, Washington and Canberra, Fowler pieces together the plot to sink the French and switch to a nuclear-powered US submarine - a botched operation that severely compromised Australia’s ability to defend itself.

Book Synopsis The Collins Class Submarine Story by : Peter Yule
Download or read book The Collins Class Submarine Story written by Peter Yule and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-02 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and outstanding military and industrial achievement, the Collins class submarine project was also plagued with difficulties and mired in politics. Its story is one of heroes and villains, grand passions, intrigue, lies, spies and backstabbing. It is as well a story of enormous commitment and resolve to achieve what many thought impossible. The building of these submarines was Australia's largest, most expensive and most controversial military project. From initiation in the 1981–2 budget to the delivery of the last submarine in 2003, the total cost was in excess of six billion dollars. Over 130 key players were interviewed for this book, and the Australian Defence Department allowed access to its classified archives and the Australian Navy archives. Vividly illustrated with photographs from the collections of the Royal Australian Navy and ASC Pty Ltd, The Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin, first published in 2008, is a riveting and accessibly written chronicle of a grand-scale quest for excellence.
Book Synopsis Chinese Naval Shipbuilding by : Andrew S. Erickson
Download or read book Chinese Naval Shipbuilding written by Andrew S. Erickson and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s shipbuilding industry has grown more rapidly than any other in modern history. Commercial shipbuilding output jumped thirteen-fold from 2002–12, ensuring that Beijing has largely reached its goal of becoming the world’s leading shipbuilder. Yet progress is uneven, with military shipbuilding leading overall but with significant weakness in propulsion and electronics for military and civilian applications. It has never been more important to assess what ships China can supply its navy and other maritime forces with, today and in the future. Chinese Naval Shipbuilding answers three pressing questions: What are China’s prospects for success in key areas of naval shipbuilding? What are the likely results for China’s navy? What are the implications for the U.S. Navy? To address these critical issues, this volume assembles some of the world’s leading experts and linguistic analysts, often pairing them in research teams. These sailors, scholars, industry professionals, and government specialists have commanded ships at sea, led shipbuilding programs ashore, toured Chinese vessels and production facilities, invested in Chinese shipyards, and analyzed and presented important data to top-level decision-makers in times of crisis. In synthesizing their collective insights, this book fills a key gap in our understanding of China, its shipbuilding industry, its navy, and what it all means.
