The No. 1 Storage Block at ANSTO HIFAR served as a secure holding area for radioactive rigs and equipment, designed to provide temporary containment within a heavily shielded concrete structure. Each marked position on the surface corresponds to an individual storage cavity, allowing for the safe housing of radioactive components before further processing or disposal.
This carefully engineered system ensured that materials remained securely contained while awaiting their next stage of handling. The handwritten markings and labels reflect the meticulous record-keeping essential to nuclear facility operations, where precision and safety were paramount.
Offering a rare glimpse into the controlled environment of nuclear research, this industrial art print is a compelling addition for those fascinated by scientific infrastructure.
