Nuclear Giants? Prospects for Nuclear Energy in China and India

由于中国和印度无法选择传统的能源消费方式，因此建议将核能作为清洁和可持续的替代能源。 如果中国或印度或两国都开始扩大其核能产能，澳大利亚作为煤炭、天然气和铀的主要供应国将有直接利益。 作为两个非常规大国，它们将核能扩大到应对挑战所必需的程度的能力将对该地区的安全产生影响。 了解这两个国家的核政治是澳大利亚的必要要求。

Since the traditional path of energy consumption is not an option for China and India, nuclear energy is recommended as a clean and sustainable alternative. If either China or India or both start expanding their nuclear energy capacity, Australia has a direct interest as a major supplier of coal, natural gas and uranium. As two unconvential great powers, their ability to expand nuclear energy to an extent necessary to meet the challenges will have security implications in the region. Understanding the nuclear politics in these two countries is a necessary requirement for Australia.
