The history of nuclear science in Australia is of growing interest to scholars, however the physical remains of this controversial legacy are yet to be investigated. This interdisciplinary project would bring together leading academics, curators, scientists and First Nations researchers, using innovative contemporary archaeology approaches, to generate new understandings of the significance of Australia’s atomic heritage in global context. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for heritage management, and new resources and methods for understanding and interpreting Australia’s role in the Nuclear Age. This should generate substantial benefits for the Partner Organisations, and for Australia's tourism and cultural sectors more broadly.

澳大利亚核科学的历史吸引了学者的兴趣，但是这种有争议的遗产的物理遗骸尚待研究。这个跨学科的项目将使用创新的当代考古学方法将领先的学者，策展人，科学家和原住民研究人员召集在一起，以对澳大利亚在全球背景下的原子遗产的意义产生新的理解。预期的结果包括提高遗产管理的能力，以及理解和解释澳大利亚在核时代中的作用的新资源和方法。这将为合作伙伴组织以及澳大利亚的旅游业和文化部门带来重大利益。
