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.

澳大利亚的核科学史越来越受到学者们的关注，然而这一有争议的遗产的物理遗迹还有待调查。这一跨学科项目将汇集主要学者、博物馆馆长、科学家和原住民研究人员，采用创新的当代考古学方法，对澳大利亚原子遗产在全球范围内的重要性产生新的理解。预期成果包括提高遗产管理能力，以及了解和解释澳大利亚在核时代作用的新资源和新方法。这将为伙伴组织以及澳大利亚更广泛的旅游和文化部门带来巨大利益。
