What’s going on at Australia’s ageing nuclear campus?

Nestled amongst bushland just above th e Woronora River in the southern Sydney suburb of Lucas Heights lies Australia’s only nuclear science campus.

The scientific campus is made up of three key facilities and is run by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). Since it started operating more than fifty years ago, it has undergone many upgrades and improvements – and, according to a line deep in the 2023–2024 federal budget, it is bound for even more that will help “[secure] a responsive nuclear medicine and science capability for Australia.”

It may also be expanded.

The centrepiece of the Lucas Heights nuclear site is the 20-megawatt Open Pool Australian Lightwater nuclear reactor – otherwise known as OPAL.

This reactor is the successor of the 10-megawatt High Flux Australian Reactor (HIFAR). The first nuclear reactor in use at Lucas Heights – and the first to be built in the southern hemisphere – HIFAR was opened in 1958 and was housed in a sealed circular steel building 21 metres wide and 21 metres high. Its core contained 25 fuel rods and 280 grams of uranium enriched with U235

Based on the DIDO reactor at Harwell in the United Kingdom, the reactor was originally intended to test materials for use in future nuclear power reactors. But its purpose changed with the decision not to pursue a nuclear power program in Australia: it became a research reactor, producing radioisotopes for medicine, agriculture, industry and research.

In simple terms, radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes . The gamma rays they emit is traceable, allowing experts to precisely observe their movement in a subject using specialist imaging technology which detects small amounts of radiation.

In January 2007, following nearly 50 years of operation, HIFAR was shut down. Four months later, the $300 million OPAL reactor was officially opened by then prime minister John Howard.

OPAL is estimated to have a 60-plus years design life. It is currently one of 222 operational nuclear research reactors in 54 countries around the world, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency research reactor database .

A further 23 research reactors in 16 countries are either planned or under construction; 79 reactors in 30 countries are in either temporary, extended or permanent shutdown; and 517 are under decommissioning or have been decommissioned.

Housed inside a concrete-reinforced building that is designed to withstand the impact of a one in ten-thousand-year earthquake, OPAL is the only nuclear reactor in Australia – and one of the few research reactors in the world capable of producing commercial quantities of radioisotopes that are used for a range of medical purposes. It generally runs for 30 days non-stop at full power, followed by a stop of five days to reshuffle the fuel.

It is inside these containers that Mo-99 transforms into Tc-99m, which is used to diagnose heart disease, cancer and a range of other illnesses, and to study organ structure and function.

The reactor core – 35 centimetres square and 60 centimetres high – comprises 16 low-enriched uranium silicide fuel plates with aluminium cladding and is submerged near the bottom of a 12.8-metre-deep pool of demineralised, turquoise-coloured water.

ANSTO’s website says OPAL is a research reactor. “It generates roughly 20 Megawatts of heat using around 30kg of uranium. This is very small when compared to a typical nuclear power reactor, which may operate at a thermal output of around 3000 Megawatts to generate 1000 Megawatts of electricity and contain around 100,000 kilograms (kg) of uranium.”

Radioisotopes are produced by the reactor through the process of fission, by which a neutron slams into the nuclear of a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy and heat that is cooled by the water circulating between the fuel plates.

Among the radioisotopes produced is molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) – the precursor to the most widely used radioisotope in nuclear medicine, technetium-99m (Tc-99m). The irradiated target plates that contain this critical radioisotope are then sent to the nearby and newly constructed Mo-99 Manufacturing facility – ‘Building 88’ – where they are dissolved in shielded hot cells.

Once the Mo-99 has been extracted and purified in ‘Building 88’, it is then transported to ANSTO’s nuclear medicine and distribution facility – ‘Building 23’ – which opened in 1958. It is then dispensed into specially designed white and yellow containers called “Gentech Generators” which are sent to medical facilities around the country.

Explainer: what is an isotope?

According to ANSTO, about 75-80 percent of nuclear medicine isotopes used in Australia come from Lucas Heights. One full Mo-99 production cycle at the campus produces about 40 millilitres of the radioisotope – enough for approximately 10,000 patient doses.

“It’s absolutely critical to have a domestic supply of Mo-99”, says Dale Bailey, a physicist working in the field of nuclear medicine at Royal North Shore Hospital and a professor and lecturer at the University of Sydney.

“We really learnt that during the pandemic when there were disruptions to international supply chains.”

But producing radioisotopes that are critical for human healthcare isn’t the only function of the OPAL reactor; it also produces irradiated silicon through a process known as Neutron Transmutation Doping. This is also critical to our modern day lives, as irradiated silicon has an enhanced ability to conduct electricity and is essential for products like high-powered computer chips.

Each year, ANSTO irradiates more than 50 tonnes of silicon, which is used by the electronics industry across Europe and Asia.

It appears the much-needed money for upgrading the Lucas Heights nuclear campus might finally be forthcoming.

In recent years, the Lucas Heights nuclear campus has been dogged by safety concerns and shutdowns.

In August 2017, for example, a technician working in ‘Building 23’ dropped a vial containing radioactive material. His hands were contaminated through two pairs of gloves, exposing him to an elevated risk of cancer. According to the International Nuclear Event Scale – the global grading system for nuclear incidents – the event was deemed the most serious in the world in 2017.

Within the next ten months, there were three other less-serious incidents, and in October 2018, an independent report was published which found the precinct failed to meet modern nuclear safety standards and had a culture of “make do and mend.”

Then, in June the following year, there was a mechanical failure at ‘Building 23’ that led to a major disruption of domestic supply of Mo-99. Four months later, “we are still experiencing the impact on daily activity in our hospitals and practices of this point failure on the production line,” as Bailey wrote at the time in a special report for the official newsletter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine.

According to the independent report from 2018, a major cause of the ongoing problems at Lucas Heights has been federal government budget restrictions that have hindered longstanding plans to decommission and replace the ageing Building 23. “The lack of a permanent replacement solution … is undermining the possibility of truly effective risk control,” the report found.

But it appears the much-needed money for upgrading the Lucas Heights nuclear campus might finally be forthcoming.

In the most recent federal budget, the Commonwealth government announced “funding over 10 years from 2023–24 to construct a new nuclear medicine manufacturing building, as well as ongoing maintenance of the current ageing facility.” This will enable Australia to continue supplying the domestic market – and increase its supply for the international market. Indeed, according to ANSTO, “world demand for Mo-99 is large and growing, as more countries develop modern medical systems.”

The Federal government also announced “funding over two years from 2023–24 for ANSTO to develop a business case for a new facility supporting Australia’s sovereign nuclear security science capability” – one that would be “different to the nuclear medicine manufacturing facility,” according to an ANSTO spokesperson.

The ANSTO spokesperson did not provide detail about either announcement and the budget did not disclose exactly how much funding has been allocated, owing to “commercial sensitivities.”

However, Bailey understands that the funding is to build a full replacement of ‘Building 23’ which will be “a highly automated, state of the art facility with about a fifty-year lifespan” – similar to SHINE Technologies’ large-scale Mo-99 manufacturing facility in Janesville, Wisconsin, that is soon to be operational.

Bailey believes the cost could be twice the $210 million that, in 2019, was estimated was needed to refurbish the facility.

But whatever the cost, Bailey is adamant it will be worth it to secure a domestic supply of nuclear medicine in Australia.  

“It’s something we need to do,” he says. “And it is a long-term investment.”

Australia's nuclear research reactor.

Lucas Heights

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) operates Australia’s one and only nuclear reactor — the  20 MW(t) ‘OPAL’ research reactor at Lucas Heights, approx. 25kms south of Sydney.

Successive governmens have claimed that the reactor is necessary for medical and scientific applications though the evidence for such claims is very weak. The desire to continue to operate a reactor is driven by questionable foreign policy objectives (see Jean McSorley’s paper ).

A non-reactor future for ANSTO is viable based on a range of technologies, the most important being particle accelerators including cyclotrons. These options ought to be explored given the problems with research reactors, in particular their use in numerous nuclear weapons programs around the world, and the small risk of serious accidents (there have been 5-6 fatal research reactor accidents). ANSTO was heavily involved in the push to build nuclear weapons in Australia in the 1950s and ’60s.

As at September 2012, ANSTO fully supports the government’s crude, undemocratic, racist plans dump ANSTO’s nuclear waste on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory. Previously, ANSTO fully supported the Howard government’s racist plan to impose a nuclear waste dump on Kokatha land in South Australia.

ANSTO is notorious for its dishonesty. For example, Tony Wood, former head of the Divisions of Reactors and Engineering at ANSTO’s reactor plant in Sydney, has criticised ANSTO for its “misleading public statements” and for “sugar-coating” its information. Mr. Wood said in evidence to the Senate Select Committee Reactor Inquiry in 2000/01: “If I had to sum up my concerns in one sentence, it would be that for the first time in my long association with the AAEC and ANSTO I do not feel comfortable with what the organisation is telling the public and its own staff.”

Mr. Wood said in verbal evidence to an ARPANSA Public Forum on 17 December 2001: “I believe that it is very important that the public be told the truth even if the truth is unpalatable. I have cringed at some of ANSTO’s public statements. Surely there is someone at ANSTO with a practical reactor background and the courage to flag when ANSTO is yet again, about to mislead the public.”

The Commonwealth regulator, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) was established in the late-1990s after decades of public pressure for a genuine independent regulator. There was discussion about an independent board with overall responsibility for ARPANSA. The Howard Coalition government watered down that idea − instead the government appointed an all-powerful ARPANSA CEO. Incredibly, ANSTO was allowed to participate in the interview panel for the ARPANSA CEO job − ANSTO’s then Communications Manager John Mulcair acknowledged that this was indefensible.

A culture of secrecy undermines community confidence in ANSTO. This culture has been the subject of frequent criticism, for example:

• the Senate Select Committee Inquiry into the Contract for a New Reactor at Lucas Heights, Final Report, May 2001, said: “The Committee is highly critical of ANSTO’s approach to providing documents. Its attitude seems to stem from a culture of secrecy so embedded that it has lost sight of its responsibility to be accountable to the Parliament.”
• The same Senate Committee also said: “The Committee is highly critical of ANSTO’s attitude which seeks to make a parliamentary committee subordinate to the whims of a government agency and prevents that committee from exercising its responsibility to scrutinise the executive. The Committee therefore appreciates the frustration experienced by the Sutherland Shire Council and members of the public who have experienced a similar attitude.”
• Even Liberal and National Party senators on the Senate Committee said “… that ANSTO could have been more helpful in providing certain less commercially sensitive information to the Committee and could have been more willing to seek a compromise when sensitive material was involved.”
• Ex-ANSTO scientist and later President of the Australian Nuclear Association, Dr. Clarence Hardy, complained about the “culture of secrecy” at ANSTO when giving evidence to a parliamentary Public Works Committee inquiry in 1999.
• In 2000, the Sydney Morning Herald and Greenpeace were told that to acquire two and twenty-two pages of information respectively under Freedom of Information requests, they would be charged $7099 and $6809.

Inadequate safety practices at Lucas Heights and inadequate regulation by ARPANSA

Since 2007, a saga has been unfolding regarding contamination accidents at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), ANSTO’s handling of those incidents, ANSTO’s treatment of whistleblowers, the handling of the matter by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), and the independence or otherwise of ARPANSA.

The saga has exposed inadequate safety practices at ANSTO and an inadequate performance by the regulator ARPANSA. The problems would not have been exposed and partially rectified if not for a number of ANSTO whistleblowers.

A few snapshots of this saga are noted below and more details can be found on the Friends of the Earth website :

• 28 August 2008 − Incident at ANSTO involving a vial of molybdenum-99. An audit found that proper processes were not followed: evacuation of the area did not occur, timely communication and event reporting, thorough investigation and follow-up did not occur. The staff member in question had not completed occupational health and safety induction training or a radiation safety course.
• June 2009 − David Reid, an ANSTO employee and staff-elected health and safety officer, was suspended in June 2009 and sacked in June 2011. He repeatedly raised concerns about contamination incidents and some of his concerns were later vindicated. ANSTO states that his suspension and dismissal were unrelated to his statements regarding safety problems at ANSTO.
• 5 May 2010 − An ABC Lateline report states: “ARPANSA is Australia’s nuclear industry watchdog and Lateline has obtained a copy of its report into the accident. It largely supports David Reid’s concerns and raises further questions about safety at Lucas Heights. … ARPANSA’s investigation found that radioactive vials are regularly dropped, something that’s been tolerated for years. There have been no apparent attempts to introduce improved handling systems. Supervision and training have not been effective in delivering the standard of safety required at the facility. And there’s been a lack of management awareness about difficulties and failures at the facility.”
• 1 June 2010 – ANSTO’s CEO Dr Paterson acknowledges that investigations into contamination incidents found that “management arrangements in place at the time were deficient in a number of respects.” Dr Paterson praises Mr Reid for his “valuable”, “very useful” and “very positive” role in raising safety concerns.
• 8 February 2011 − ABC TV Lateline reports that: “Australia’s workplace health and safety regulator, Comcare, has been called in to investigate the incidents. Lateline’s obtained a copy of its report. It goes even further, finding that ANSTO has breached health and safety laws. It says ANSTO did not take all reasonable steps to provide and maintain a safe working environment. It didn’t take all reasonable steps to inform, instruct, train and supervise ANSTO Health employees. It failed to comprehensively risk assess its radiopharmaceutical production process and it failed to notify Comcare of safety incidents.”
• 28 February 2011 − The Australian reports that at least six ANSTO employees claim they were bullied by management and, in some cases, suspended from work after expressing concern about the safety of the plant’s operations.
• 3 March 2011 − The Australian reports that: “Two employees of Australia’s only nuclear reactor facility who were suspended after raising safety concerns will return to work in what amounts to a tacit admission by the plant’s administrators that the accusations against them were overstated.”
• 30 March 2011 − the ABC reports : “Australia’s nuclear industry regulator, ARPANSA, is under review over its handling of safety breaches at the nation’s only nuclear reactor. … The Chief Auditor is investigating how ARPANSA handled the original allegations of safety breaches and bullying at the nuclear site. ARPANSA last year released two conflicting reports on the claims at the Lucas Heights facility.”
• 31 May 2011 − The Australian reports that a Government-appointed panel found that ANSTO’s facilities are ageing, staff were worried that maintenance occurred only for the most urgent matters, and a more open approach to reporting health and safety problems should be adopted.
• 7 July 2011 − Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Ageing Catherine King said in a media release that the Department of Health and Ageing will review the regulatory powers of ARPANSA. This review follows the receipt of an independent audit by the Audit and Fraud Control Branch of the Department of Health and Ageing into ARPANSA’s handing of two safety incidents at ANSTO in September 2007 and August 2008. The audit, requested by the CEO of ARPANSA, found that there was a lack of consistency in evidence and transparency in the handling of one of the incidents.
• 19 October 2011 − ANSTO’s Dr Paterson comments on the frequency of contamination incidents at ANSTO: “In a typical month we would be talking about between three and perhaps 10, if there had been a significant number in relation to particular production activities.”
• 16 March 2012 − The Australian reports that: “[ANSTO] used findings of an inaccurate, biased and partially fabricated in-house report as the pretext to suspend − and recommend the dismissal of − two employees who raised health and safety concerns over the mishandling of radioactive materials. The conclusion comes from an investigation by the national workplace regulator, Comcare, into events surrounding an incident in September 2010 in which a third employee was contaminated with radioactive yttrium-90 at the radioisotope production facility (ARI). … The Comcare investigation report, completed last December and obtained by The Australian, confirms long-running claims of bullying and cover-ups at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s Lucas Heights facility in Sydney’s south. … Comcare found the ANSTO investigator’s report “was not impartial or reliable” [and] that the investigator included fabricated statements and “relied on hearsay and opinion from personnel … in the form of emails, conversations and handwritten notes”.”
• 19 June 2012 − A KPMG report commissioned by ARPANSA on September 2007 contamination incidents at ANSTO states that “we find that it is possible that the version of events in Mr Reid’s allegations did occur.” The KPMG report also finds that neither the interim report nor the final report by ARPANSA “sufficiently examined Mr Reid’s allegations that a contamination incident … occurred during the morning of 3 September 2007.”

What Lucas Raymond's play at World Championship says about future with Detroit Red Wings

Lucas Raymond will leave the 2024 World championship with a bronze medal at best, but individually, his performance rated gold.

The lone Detroit Red Wings player left at the annual event produced his ninth point in nine games Saturday, but Sweden fell to host Czechia, 7-3, in semifinal action at Prague Arena in Prague. With Switzerland stunning Canada, 3-2 in a shootout, in the other semifinal, Sweden will play Canada in Sunday's consolation game, while Czechia and Switzerland play for gold and silver.

Raymond has four goals and five assists going into the final day of games. It's not the Stanley Cup playoffs, but it is an elite tournament and the way Raymond delivered at crucial times bodes well for what impact he'll have when the Wings do make it back to the playoffs. He had a hand in goals scored in the semifinal and quarterfinal (against Finland), and scored in the opening game against the U.S., which set Sweden on a path to win Group B.

More: Will Sebastian Cossa be with Detroit Red Wings next season? 'He's stil got work to do'

Not that it is a surprise: Raymond, 22, was the Wings' best player down the stretch , with 11 points (six goals, five assists) the last six games. He had about three weeks of downtime between the end of the NHL season and the first game at Worlds. Crucially, Sweden secured insurance for Raymond, who is a restricted free agent due a lucrative new contract. All he has done over the past couple months is drive up his price, probably to somewhere in the range of $7 million annually.

Germany, unfortunately, was not able to insure Moritz Seider, who likewise is restricted and due a big payday. That denied Seider a chance to take part in the event.

On Saturday, Raymond set up the goal scored by Joel Eriksson Ek, which pulled Sweden within 5-3. That was shortly after Sweden replaced goaltender Filip Gustavsson with Samuel Ersson. Gustavsson was pulled after allowing a second goal to former Wings forward Dominik Kubalik, who also had an assist. (Kubalik was part of the deal that persuaded the Ottawa Senators to send Alex DeBrincat to Detroit last summer.)

The Wings had multiple personnel in the tournament, but that participation dwindled in the quarterfinals, when the U.S. was unable to solve Czech goaltender Lukas Dostal, who made 36 saves to lead his country to a 1-0 victory and bump the Americans from the tournament. (Dostal was great again Saturday, when Sweden outshot Czechia, 40-23.) The U.S. loss meant the end for defenseman Jeff Petry and goaltending prospect Trey Augustine, as well as Derek Lalonde and Alex Westlund, who were part of the coaching staff. Dylan Larkin's participation was cut short pre-tournament because of an injury.

Olli Määttä's tournament also ended in the quarterfinals when Finland lost to Sweden, 2-1, in overtime.

Video: Get A First Look At Cleveland Playhouse's IN THE HEIGHTS

Now on stage through June 9th, 2024.

Get a first look at Cleveland Play House's production of In The Heights now through June 9, 2024 in the Allen Theatre. Check out the video!

With music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and book by Quiara Alegría Hudes, In The Heights is directed by James Vásquez, choreographed by Julio Agustín , and music directed by Noah Landis. The production features Michelle Aravena *, Edgar Cavazos *, Aamar-Malik Culbreth, Courtland Davis*, Shadia Fairuz *, Valeria Flores, Alyssa V. Gomez *, Reyna Guerra *, Kirstin Angelina Henry, Luis Herrera *, Chibueze Ihuoma *, Ariella Kvashny*, Rudy Martinez *, Addie Morales *, Joseph Morales *, Liliana Rodriguez*, Amy Romero, Trinidad Snider, Kevin Solis *, Gabriel Subervi, Arik Vega *, and Kalyn West *. 

In The Heights is Lin-Manuel Miranda 's music-filled love letter to the community of his youth, Washington Heights, NYC. This heartwarming, hip-hop-infused musical tells the story of the corner bodega where the coffee is hot, light, and sweet, the apartment windows are always open, and the cool breeze carries the percussive rhythm of the bustling city and three generations of dreams. The unbearable July heat has the denizens of NYC's upper west side Washington Heights neighborhood shouting, "¡Que calor!" Several established businesses have closed. Housing costs - and racial tensions - are on the rise. And the once vibrant, now dwindling community must rally together to preserve their culture and their way of life. For this community on the brink of change, In The Heights tells the story of hope, heritage, and healing love.

Long before Hamilton, Moana, and Encanto, the original idea of the hit Broadway musical In The Heights began as a college project for Lin-Manuel Miranda , a budding writer and performer attending Wesleyan University. During his sophomore year in 1999, Miranda began writing a story centered around characters from the NYC neighborhood of his upbringing, Washington Heights. Over the next few years, the musical underwent major plot and structural changes, credited to the new collaboration with the then emerging playwright, Quiara Alegría Hudes, who joined the creative team in 2004.

With a revised script and score, the piece was developed at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center during a residency at the 2005 Music Theater Conference. The off-Broadway production premiered in 2007 and then transferred to Broadway in 2008, earning four Tony Awards for Best Musical, Original Score, Choreography, and Orchestrations. After two national tours, the acclaimed musical was adapted into a film in 2021.

Much of the dialogue and lyrics in the musical are spoken and sung in Spanish, the language of the immigrants who live in Washington Heights. Miranda's score authentically captures the rhythms of Afro-Caribbean music unlike other works within the American musical theatre canon. Miranda allows for style and mode to be specific to his characters, incorporating traditional power ballads, high-energy dance scenes, call-and-response, and hip-hop with witty rap lyrics. Though the inspiring Miranda and Hudes musical focuses on a specific place and culture, the themes within the story are universal, focused on the importance of family, following your dreams, and celebrating community.

At the helm of CPH's production of In The Heights is James Vásquez, a resident artist at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California. Director James Vásquez says, "I've directed this show a few times in my career, and yet, if there is one constant I take away every time I revisit this neighborhood, it is the importance of community and family. It's a theme I'm grateful to always revisit with Lin-Manuel Miranda 's groundbreaking musical." Vásquez says, "Much like all our communities, [Washington Heights] is a true melting pot of faces, beliefs, and hopes. They fight to remember who they are and where they come from, but also look to the future and dream of who they can become - and ultimately redefine what makes up a family. It's with great pride that my new Cleveland Play House family gets to bring this story to life for you and your family, be they related or chosen. Though our faces, beliefs, and hopes may differ from each other or the person next door, Lin-Manuel Miranda 's beautifully universal story proves the power of a community when standing up and having each other's back."

The creative team for In The Heights includes choreography by Julio Agustín (In The Heights at Hangar Theatre/Geva Theatre), music direction by Noah Landis (Broadway: Hamilton, A Bronx Tale), scenic design by Diggle, costume design by Lex Liang (CPH's Moriarty, Shakespeare In Love), lighting design by María-Cristina Fusté (CPH's American Mariachi), sound design by Sharath Patel (CPH's Frankenstein), wig and hair design by Kellen Eason, casting by Karie Koppel, as well as cultural consultant Inali Pichardo, associate choreographer Amy Romero, stage manager Colt Luedtke*, and assistant stage manager Kitty Wen.

Completing the cast is Edgar Cavazos *, Aamar-Malik Culbreth, Courtland Davis*, Valeria Flores, Alyssa V. Gomez *, Reyna Guerra *, Kirstin Angelina Henry, Luis Herrera *, Ariella Kvashny*, Liliana Rodriguez*, Amy Romero, Kevin Solis *, Gabriel Subervi, and Arik Vega *.
