The Jervis Bay Nuclear Power Plant was a proposed nuclear power reactor in the Jervis Bay Territory, an Australian federal territory adjoining the South Coast of the state of New South Wales. It would have been Australia's first nuclear power station, and is the only proposal to have reached the design and construction stages as of March 2025. Some environmental studies and site works were completed, and two rounds of tenders were called and evaluated, but the Australian Government decided not to proceed with the project, owing to the perceived cost, and to the discovery of new coal and hydrocarbon resources.
