ANSTO can confirm it has completed its 9th successful export of spent fuel. The spent fuel, from OPAL, ANSTO’s multipurpose reactor, has gone to France for reprocessing.

The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.

The Australian Synchrotron provides funding support for successful beamtime applicants in the form of travel funding and/or onsite accommodation. Travel funds granted are to be used solely to cover the majority of the cost to travel to the AS facility. The User Office will book accommodation for interstate user groups at the onsite AS Guesthouse.

The Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub (the Hub) unites the expertise of top Federal science agencies: ANSTO, Geoscience Australia, and CSIRO with the aim of addressing technical challenges and drive collaborative research across the critical minerals value chain.

Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is well-known for facilitating incredible science and creating life-saving nuclear medicines, but for the last 40 years it’s been quietly producing a largely unsung net zero hero: Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) silicon.

Advances in radon measurement technology by ANSTO researchers over the past decade have enabled the improved characterisation of the composition of pristine air masses that reach Antarctica.

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.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
