Open-pool Australian lightwater reactor
The Open-pool Australian lightwater reactor (OPAL) is a 20 megawatt (MW) swimming pool nuclear research reactor. Officially opened in April 2007, it replaced the High Flux Australian Reactor as Australia's only nuclear reactor, and is located at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Research Establishment in Lucas Heights, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney. Both OPAL and its predecessor have been commonly known simply as the Lucas Heights reactor.
Examples of use of echidna
1. In 2000, Sydney chose three creatures the kookaburra, the duck–billed platypus and the echidna.
2. Another night, Richards almost stepped on the tail of an echidna, a bizarre, egg–laying mammal like a hedgehog that is also called the spiny anteater.
3. Researchers also encountered the Long–beaked Echidna, members of the primitive egg–laying group of mammals called the Monotremes. ___ On the Net: Conservation International: http://www.conservation.org
4. The platypus inhabits an isolated branch on the evolutionary tree with just one other close cousin, the echidna, also of Australia.
5. We went walking through sand–dunes and into bush scrub with Capes, learning how to recognise echidna tracks (like those of wallabies, but with a backward brush shape); how to tell kangaroos going fast (deep tail tracks) from slow (soft tail tracks). We were taught how to survive in the bush on berries and on bush bananas (delicious finger–shaped fruits with a nutty taste) and we experienced for just a few hours the simplicity and the spirituality of the bush.
