Large areas of the former British nuclear test site at Maralinga were contaminated by the explosive dispersal of plutonium. The Australian Government, in consultation with stakeholders, determined that the site should be cleaned-up so that it is fit for unrestricted habitation by the Aboriginal traditional owners (Maralinga Tjarutja). Engagement with the stakeholders, particularly the Maralinga Tjarutja, determined that the specific criterion for rehabilitation was 5 mSv yand that some restrictions on permanent occupancy should remain. Remediation of the site began in 1995, took 5 years and cost AU$106 million. The site was returned to its traditional owners in 2009 and is now the site of a flourishing tourism operation.
前英国核试验场马拉林加的大片区域遭受钚爆炸物的污染。澳大利亚政府与利益攸关方协商后决定，应清理该场地，使其适合马里纳加·塔鲁查原住民传统所有者（马里纳加·塔鲁查）不受限制地居住。与利益攸关方，特别是马里纳加·塔鲁查的协商确定，康复的具体标准为 5 毫希沃特/年，并且应该保留对永久居住的一些限制。该场地的修复工作始于 1995 年，历时 5 年，耗资 1.06 亿澳元。该场地于 2009 年归还给其传统所有者，现已成为一个繁荣的旅游胜地。
