It was established in 1952, replacing the Atomic Energy Policy Committee. In 1981 parts of the Commission were split off to become part of CSIRO, the remainder continuing until 1987, when it was replaced by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). The Commission head office was in Coogee, and its main facilities were at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Lucas Heights, established in 1958. Highlights of the Commission's history included: Major roles in the establishment of the IAEA and the system of international safeguards. The construction of the HIFAR and MOATA research reactors at Lucas Heights. The selection of the preferred tender for the construction of the proposed Jervis Bay Nuclear Power Plant, and the Ranger Uranium Mine joint venture. Other significant facilities constructed by the Commission at Lucas Heights included a 3MeV Van de Graaff particle accelerator, installed in 1964 to provide proton beams and now upgraded to become ANTARES, a smaller 1.3MeV betatron, and radioisotope production and remote handling facilities associated with HIFAR reactor.

Kai Bird (born September 2, 1951) is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning author and columnist, best known for his biographies of political figures. Bird was born in 1951 in Eugene, Oregon. His father was a U.S. Foreign Service officer. His father named him after Kai-Yu Hsu, a refugee from Communist China he met at the University of Oregon. Kai means "mustard" in Mandarin Chinese, and "Kai-Yu" suggests somebody who adds spice to life. He received his BA from Carleton College in 1973 and a M.S. in journalism from Northwestern University in 1975. He won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 2006 for American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (co-authored with Martin J. Sherwin). His work includes writings on the Vietnam War, Hiroshima, Nuclear weapons, the Cold War, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the CIA. Martin J. Sherwin (born July 2, 1937) is an American historian. His scholarship mostly concerns the development of atomic energy and nuclear proliferation. Sherwin received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles. He was the longtime Walter S. Dickson Professor at Tufts University until his retirement in May 2007. He and co-author Kai Bird shared the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for American Prometheus. Sherwin worked on the book for two decades before Bird, a writer came on to collaborate in piecing all his research together. More
