A prominent anti-nuclear campaigner has rejected comments by the Prime Minister that nuclear power production should be an option in Australia.
Dr Helen Caldicott was the main speaker at an energy forum in Adelaide last night.
She says advances in technology means that renewable energy is a much better option.
Dr Caldicott also dismisses John Howard's comment that world attitudes to nuclear power are changing.
"I think he's kidding himself. I feel very strongly the sentiment in Australia is we will never accept nuclear power. We don't need it," she said.
"If ever there's a chance for us to become an energy superpower, it's to cover every house with solar panels and have wind farms everywhere."
