Over its 20 years of operation, Olympic Dam has maintained a strong focus on protecting employees, contractors and members of the public from radiation.

The uranium oxide produced at Olympic Dam is sent to converters overseas for further processing into fuel used in nuclear power reactors in Asia, Europe and North America.
