The personnel entrance at HIFAR, once a secondary access point, now serves as the primary entry as the reactor moves through its structured decommissioning phase. Enclosed walkways and industrial framework define the space, with the white ventilation trunking overhead playing a key role in managing airflow within the facility.
The arrangement of steel supports, conduits, and external piping reflects the precision engineering that underpinned operations here. While its function has shifted over time, the facility remains an integral part of Australia’s nuclear history.
This print captures the intersection of science and structure, offering a rare glimpse into one of the country’s most significant research facilities, an essential piece for collectors of industrial and scientific heritage.
