2017-4-26 · The proposed ANM Facility is at its front end dependent on the Open Pool Australian Lightwater Reactor (OPAL) to provide the neutron irradiation of the uranium targets required to produce, through nuclear fission, molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), a precursor to technetium-99m (Tc-99m) that is used in a variety of medical procedures.
ARPANSA issues an operating licence to ANSTO for the Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) Research Reactor located at Lucas Heights in southern Sydney. OPAL is operational at 11.25pm on 12 August 2006. OPAL is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt (MW) pool research reactor which uses low enriched uranium fuel and is cooled by water.

Nuclear safety and security share the common objective of protecting people and property from exposure to undesirable amounts of radiation and need to be well integrated. However, nuclear-safety and -security concepts and communities develop separately, which can create unclear responsibilities and gaps in coverage when these measures are applied.
NSC discussed ANSTO learnings from an event involving the handling of nuclear material during an inspection of the Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor at Lucas Heights. The event, which had no direct safety implications, was a deviation from standard protocol.
