Aramoana uses 15% of our total generation. You'd need to expand it many times over to justify the cost of building nuclear power infrastructure and capability.

Nuclear power is not a viable option for his country even just on economic grounds - we simply don't have the scale of industry or population to justify building a nuclear capability. It's really expensive regardless of the poisonous and persistent safety and pollution issues.
Seems to be touching some political memories for NZ's left. but is a distraction from other goings-on that actually do have real consequences here. Like rebuilding Christchurch - and the sneaky things that will be slipped in on that pretext. Nuclear power is not one of them.

Good news steel structure story of a different sort.
Leaweld Perimeter Solutions is one of the companies undertaking preliminary work in Christchurch, having just signed a contract to supply 17km of 1.8m-high security fencing to be be erected around damaged buildings.
Leaweld managing director Steve Evans said the scale of damage to buildings in Christchurch was so great there wasn't enough security fencing anywhere in the country to meet the city's needs and the Christchurch City Council had been looking at importing 19 container loads of security fencing from Australia to fill the gap.
However, Evans realised if several local firms pooled their resources they could make the fencing in this country at a lower cost than the imported option.
...
Talks with various suppliers revealed other businesses were prepared to pull out all the stops if it meant assisting with the Christchurch recovery effort.
