Construction is under way at the Lucas Heights campus on the Australian national nuclear research and development organisation's (ANSTO's) new, $168m Nuclear Medicine (ANM) plant. Large areas of the building are already waterproofed and interior fittings are being installed. Work has also started on the hot cells. ANSTO is significantly closer to massively increasing production of the radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99). The plant is scheduled to commence operation in late 2016.
