What impression or image of the nuclear reactor is given by this title? The video clip was originally titled ‘Energy Unlimited’.What image or impression of the purpose of a nuclear reactor does Prime Minister Menzies give in his speech?.What impression do you get from the video clip about the purpose of a nuclear reactor?.What image or impression do you get from the video clip about the process involved?.The nuclear process produces dangerous waste that must be carefully stored and the Lucas Heights reactor has been named by the government as a potential terrorist target. It also produces material or carries out analyses for the mining industry, for forensic purposes and for research. The Lucas Heights reactor is one of only 70 reactors worldwide that are capable of producing much-needed medical radioisotopes. With the decision not to pursue a power reactor program in Australia, there has been a gradual change in how the reactor has been used over the years. The Lucas Height reactor was originally built to test materials for their suitability in use in future power reactors. Neutrons are given off in the process of fission and, after slowing down (losing energy), are used to keep the fission chain reaction going. Fission occurs when a heavy nucleus absorbs a neutron and splits. The nuclear reactor produces neutrons, subatomic particles found in the nucleus of all atoms, through the process of fission – the splitting of a large atom, such as uranium, into two smaller ones. In 1958 Australia opened its first (and only) nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights, a southern suburb of Sydney.
