Several of the sites with radiation symbols are agency offices and proposed sites that were never used:

Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency
Australian Safeguards and Non-proliferation Office
Jervis Bay – proposed nuclear power reactor site 1969-71
Barndioota - proposed Nuclear Waste Dump Site
Woomera – proposed nuclear dump site 1998-2004
