Senator Cadell, it's delightful—through you, Chair—to be here again having this conversation that we have had many, many times before. It's like a little routine. It's a bit like 'transmission Tuesday'; we are now having 'nuclear Monday'. This might actually help us unpick some of the confusion that seems to be around. On the one hand, we hear significant amounts of talk that, 'No, we're not talking about large nuclear reactor power plants; we're talking about these small modular reactors.' So I think the confusion here needs to be unpacked a little. The small modular reactors are the ones that are not yet commercially viable. So that is slightly problematic.
