The User Advisory Committee (UAC) is an independent group that provides advice to ANSTO Australian Synchrotron (AS) senior management on issues from a user perspective.

Testing at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science supports an action plan just published by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fibre-based food contact packaging in Australia by December 2023.

Accelerator technique used in pioneering biomaterials research led by the University of Sydney.

On behalf of ANSTO thank you for your interest in our tours. We hope your visit to ANSTO will be both enjoyable and informative.

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

Radiocarbon dating is a well-known method for determining the age of materials up to the age of approximately 50,000 years.

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.

PFAS chemicals in packaging pose serious environmental and health risks, but Australia’s packaging industry is leading the way to phase them out. Backed by cutting-edge nuclear science, industry-led action is creating safer packaging solutions for all Australians.

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.

Favourable conceptual design review may lead to expanded role for Australia on ITER diagnostics.

New facility will greatly enhance Australia’s capability in stress engineering for industry

Elemental and trace metal analysis lab is fully equipped with a range of instruments to trace elements and metals in environmental samples.
