Ben Heard is an environmental professional. He was once a strong opponent of nuclear power until he underwent a Road To Evidence-Based Damascus experience about five years ago and since then has been a strong proponent. Tonight we have him on the topic of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission and our first taste of the citizens' jury's review of the findings.

We discuss

- Why a citizens' jury is needed after spending money on a royal commission
- How South Australia is positioning with mining for the nuclear fuel cycle
- The reasons for not enriching ore
- Our almost-missed opportunities for nuclear power generation
- Our safe and lucrative options for nuclear waste storage (and energy extraction)
- Where the royal commission stopped too short on science and technology
- The myths and truths of background radiation

In the musical pilgrimage, we have a band with a lead singer from Kimba

The SA Drink Of The Week is from winemaker Simon Parker of Vinify

In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests Steve and the boys on atomic stories, including the revelation that Yankalilli has a rich radioactive mineral source just upstream!
