dc.description.abstractThe OPAL reactor went critical for the first time on 12 August 2006 and achieved full power for the first time on 3 November 2006. This has been a successful project characterised by extensive interaction with the projectā€™s stakeholders during project definition and the use of a performance-based turnkey contract which gave the contractor the maximum opportunity to optimise the design to achieve performance and cost effectiveness. The contactor, INVAP SE, provided significant in-house resources as well as project managing an international team of suppliers and sub-contractor deliver the projectā€™s objectives. A key contributor to the projectā€™s successful outcomes has been the development and maintenance of an excellent working relationship between the ANSTO and INVAP project teams. Commissioning was undertaken in accordance with the IAEA recommended stages. The main results of hot commissioning are reviewed and the problems encountered examined. Operational experience since hot commissioning is also reviewed.en_AU
