Radioactive Medicine Factory Expansion
Lucas Heights To Receive Hundreds of Millions in Funding
New Facility Will Boost Production of Life-Saving Medicines
WEB Lucas Heights, home to Australia's only nuclear reactor, OPAL, is set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for a new radioactive medicine factory. The expansion will significantly increase the production of life-saving medicines, such as those used to treat cancer and heart disease.
The new factory will be built alongside the existing OPAL reactor and is expected to be completed by 2027. It will use the latest technology to produce radioactive isotopes, which are essential for the production of many medical treatments.
The expansion is a major investment in Australia's healthcare system and will help to ensure that Australians have access to the latest and most effective medical treatments.
