The Australian Government plans to rehabilitate the former nuclear weapons testing ranges at Maralinga and Emu in South Australia and to allow access to the areas for the Pitjantjatjara (Aboriginal) people who are the traditional owners of the land. The major radiological hazard posed by reoccupation of the ranges arises from inhalation of residual plutonium. The committed effective dose that these people might receive from inhalation on reoccupation of the lands is computed for a range of sites. The estimated doses for permanent occupancy range up to 300 mSv y-1 indicating the need for substantial rehabilitation before these areas are suitable for unrestricted access.
澳大利亚政府计划修复南澳大利亚州马拉林加和埃穆的前核武器试验场，并允许这片土地的传统所有者皮詹贾塔拉（原住民）进入这些地区。重新占用这些试验场带来的主要辐射危害来自吸入残留的钚。针对一系列地点计算了这些人在重新占用土地时因吸入钚可能接受的有效剂量。永久居住的估计剂量高达300毫希沃特/年，这表明在这些地区适合无限制进入之前，需要进行大规模修复。
