Is it because the lack of infrastructure that they can’t deal with it on the offset of a nuclear meltdown? Or that the resources needed to maintain the reactor needs to be efficiently sent?

To start with, nuclear is banned in australia. There’s been a lot of discourse in the past week about lifting the ban and building power plants but it’s a smokescreen to distract from the money our politicians are funnelling to fossil fuels.
As a result of the ban, there aren’t any scientists or engineers in Australia capable of putting a power plant together and keeping it functional. There hasn’t been any training or research or infrastructure towards nuclear power because it’s just not possible in this country under the current laws.
Even if the ban were to be lifted and we miraculously got the right people to get it done, it would take 15+ years to get one functioning at this point.
And as we’re a country rich in fossil fuels, there’s never been any reason to stray from mining and selling, up to and including the climate crisis.
