Abstract

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIAWith the country's only nuclear reactor shut down, Australian nuclear scientists are hoping the authorities get them back in business soon. The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) shut down the Open Pool Australian Light-Water (OPAL) reactor in Lucas Heights outside Sydney 7 months ago because of faulty uranium-laden fuel elements. ANSTO has been working to solve the problem, but the government regulator wants more details before it will clear the reactor to start up again, ending the shutdown.
