The helium purification unit at ANSTO HIFAR played a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the reactor system. Designed to remove impurities from the circulating helium gas, this system ensured that only high-purity helium was used within the reactor environment.
By preventing contamination, the unit helped optimize reactor performance, aiding in cooling processes and reducing the risk of corrosion within the reactor tank. Maintaining helium purity was essential for sustaining operational safety and efficiency throughout HIFAR’s service life.
Capturing the precision engineering behind nuclear facility operations, this print is ideal for those interested in industrial infrastructure, scientific heritage, and the technical systems that supported reactor safety.
