in Lucas Heights, NSW.
The OPAL reactor was designed and built by Argentine Patagonian company INVAP and was inaugurated by PM John Howard in 2006. It is the best expression of high-tech cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear technology between two nations, and is without a doubt one of the highlights of the Argentina-Australia bilateral relation. Ambassador Gowland was presented with a commemorative framed picture of the facility by acting CEO, Miles Apperley, and in turn presented a crystal plaque to mark the occasion.
