Nuclear Power in Australia

[Biceps]

You're right. But if it was internationally implemented there is always a chance that a natural disaster can cause trouble.
Remember Fukishima?

Not every Nuclear Power Station is going to built on a Fault-line. Just saying.

Yes. However nature is unpredictable. You never know when a flood, tsunami, hurricane, volcanic eruption, storm, etc. can happen so the risk is always there.

Since I've been reading theories and methods of how Nuclear Power can power our space explorations. I believe we should allow Nuclear Power, mainly because I read this awesome as article on how Nuclear Reactors could create enough energy for Rockets and Spaceships to be in space for hundreds of years.

Do you speak of Project Orion? That was pretty cool. We watched a documentary on it for Astronomy.
They'll need to solve the problem of it spewing out radiation as it exits Earth before such a power-source will work.

There were some projects seeking to fly rockets based on lasers and microwaves, forgotten all the details, that would be pro. Some of the test-models looked promising.

They are built to withstand things like that...

Floods can be "diverted" build a nuclear power plant on high ground.
Tsunami in Australia are unlikely and we can build power plants further inland
Hurricanes only occur in the northern hemisphere we only have to worry about cyclones and those only occur in the summer and they're just glorified storms. The walls of a nuclear power plant are made to withstand direct impact from things larger than jets I'm sure it could withstand a strong breeze from a cyclone.
Volcanic eruptions are ever so slightly worse than nuclear power plants going critical.

We don't just build this shit out of the same flimsy materials we build houses out of they're DESIGNED to withstand the things you listed above.

Fukushima is one disaster and was the result of dishonesty, lack of responsibility and just general disregard for proper safety and building regulations.

There will always be a risk when dealing with nuclear energy but that risk is mostly human error.

^ In that case i have no problem with it. I actually welcome the idea of a long lasting energy source.

Probably, Year 9 Science was the best year for Science. We watched Documentaries and Films for almost the whole year. They all related to Science and were super cool way of learning.

There is that huge dilemma behind radiation. Do you reckon fortifying it with Materials that can help trap the radiation will help resolve it or would it make it worse.

See.

How this propulsion system worked, it would ignite nuclear explosions underneath it to push it upwards. Pretty bold.

I don't think there is a way to contain the radiation. I mean, you are setting off the explosion outside the ship, underneath it, to propel it upwards. No, don't even mention setting off the bombs inside, and containing/filtering radiation

Designing the back-plate at the bottom of the rocket to withstand nuclear explosions is enough trouble, let alone the whole ship
