In 2017, in the wake of the 2015-16 Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission and subsequent Citizens' Jury, Nestor wrote an opinion piece for The Advertiser urging South Australian opposition leader Steven Marshall to reconsider his party's opposition to considering the future importation and storage of international nuclear waste in South Australia. She claimed that she was neither for nor against the proposal but wanted to be informed.
