14 Nuclear can be puzzling.. Is history important for (re-)new for/to nuclear countries? Is history important in our region? Human capital Intellectual capital Institutional capital Social capital

15 How to Connect Maintain critical skills and intelligent buyer status Very near term: support supply chain and human capital Near term: industry development, economics and regulation Australia has built, licensed and operates the OPAL multi-purpose reactor

16 OPAL at POWER
