Students from Peninsula International School Australia (PISA) embarked on an exclusive, mind-expanding journey into the world of nuclear science and medical physics, making history as the first school granted access to Malaysia’s nuclear reactor waste management bunker and warehouse.
Their visit to the Malaysia Nuclear Agency was nothing short of extraordinary, as they not only explored the inner workings of a nuclear reactor but also took control of a reactor simulation—an exhilarating, hands-on experience that ignited a passion for nuclear physics among the students.
The adventure continued at the Malaysia National Cancer Institute, where students got an insider’s look at nuclear medicine, learning how advanced imaging techniques and radiation treatments play a crucial role in the fight against cancer. Leading doctors and physicists were impressed by the students’ deep understanding of VCE Physics, acknowledging the early and rare exposure they’ve received to cutting-edge medical and nuclear physics concepts.
This unforgettable experience has not only deepened their curiosity but has also inspired future physicists, ready to shape the world of science and medicine. The future of physics is here, and PISA students are leading the charge!
