Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

ANSTO's Sydney locations are home to the Open Pool Australian Light-water (OPAL) multi-purpose reactor, the Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS), the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, the National Research Cyclotron and the National Deuteration Facility.

CEO Shaun Jenkinson, Group Executive for Nuclear Science and Technology Andrew Peele and ANSTO NCRIS Facility Directors, Jamie Schulz, Tamim Darwish, Ceri Brenner and Mitra Safavi-Naeini, attended the Parliamentary Reception to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) in June.

A panel discussion was held at Lucas Heights that explored the legacy and future of OPAL, Australia’s world‑class research reactor, and its role in shaping national and global scientific capability.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

An instrument used to study any materials with structure of the length scale 1-100nm.

Join experts from ANSTO and industry to explore how quantum sensing is transforming nuclear technologies, enhancing safety, strengthening security and unlocking powerful new capabilities for the future.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.

The nuclear analysis team at ANSTO recently had a significant role in the re-design and optimisation of a cold neutron source facility for the reactor, its installation and the subsequent restart after a six-month shutdown.

ANSTO among collaborators to major study of greenhouse gases.

The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

Highlights of the Magnetism Project.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.
