Stronger research link with IAEA with the establishment of Collaborating Centre at ANSTO to support environment and cultural heritage activities

ANSTO has installed a radon detector for Curtin University in Burrup WA as part of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program

ANSTO is participating in a new Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) to be headquartered at James Cook University (JCU) that aims to bring Indigenous and environmental histories to the forefront of land and sea management.

Excellent radiolabelling facilities and the operation of OPAL, a world-class multi-purpose nuclear reactor, enable ANSTO to produce a large range of radioisotopes for Australian researchers in both radiopharmaceutical and environmental areas.

Radiocarbon measurements at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science have supported research published that provided insights into what the environment was like for the Aboriginal artists who created rock art over intervals spanning 43,000 years.

ANSTO is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities and to implementing strategies which have a positive effect on the environment. The ANSTO Work Health Safety and Executive Committee oversees this process.

ANSTO seeks candidates who are passionate about making a contribution to Australian society through supporting nuclear science and technology.

ANSTO operates Work Health and Safety and Environmental Management Systems designed to ensure the safety of its employees, partners and members of the public to minimise the impact of our activities on the environment.

ANSTO has unique facilities, capabilities and expertise to investigate materials in extreme environments for applications in energy systems, the defence industry and emerging space sector.

Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.

Bushfires heat soil to extreme temperatures and this causes oxidation of chromium to a highly toxic and carcinogenic form.

ANSTO participation in ARC on Intelligent Robotic Systems for Real-time Asset Management has potential benefit in the management of infrastructure and assets
