Australia is in the process of transitioning away from fossil fuels, and historically relies heavily on coal fired electricity generation. Currently, electricity generation from nuclear reactors is banned in Australia, and the transition focuses on a switch to renewable energy and storage. SMRs are proposed as a contributor to Australia's transition away from fossil fuels.
