Dr Clarence Hardy - 1931 -2011

摘要

Dr Clarence Hardy, who passed away suddenly on 18 April 2011 from a heart attack, was one of the most influential figures in the development of nuclear technology in Australia. Apart from his personal achievements, he envisaged a grand design for Australia in which a fully integrated nuclear fuel cycle industry - under international surveillance and control - would refine and enrich uranium, fabricate fuel elements to be leased to the operators of nuclear power stations (both overseas and in Australia) then take back the spent fuel, reprocess it, recycle fissile materials and dispose of the waste - all here in this country.
