Australia get's literally none of it's energy from nuclear - the Lucas Height's reactor is a research reactor (60% enriched uranium core) which manufactures medical isotopes for our part of Asia and supports research.

We have some of everything, but I can't think of anywhere where I'd say we have long industrial landscapes. NSW is quite agrarian, a fair bit of high tech industry, but you can still live in towns which run near coal transport lines (2um particulates are a big health concern for residents from the dust). I live in Sydney near the center, so it's pretty much all commerce.
