This perspective from the outer edge of ANSTO HIFAR’s containment building offers a commanding view over the fuel storage block, a critical area where spent fuel elements were temporarily housed before being transferred for long-term storage or reprocessing.
Below, the intricate layout of handling equipment, shielding structures, and access platforms highlights the precision engineering required to manage nuclear fuel safely. Every component was designed to ensure secure containment and controlled movement, reflecting the rigorous standards upheld throughout HIFAR’s operation.
For those captivated by nuclear technology and industrial design, this scientific heritage art print presents a rare and detailed look at the systems that supported one of Australia’s most significant research reactors.
