Australia completes first phase of its waste repatriation project

Big Ideas
ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

Statement of Expectations
On the 9th of December 2022, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.
Australian researchers connected to global developments in new and emerging nuclear energy technologies
The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.

Advanced Diffraction & Scattering Beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) UNDER CONSTRUCTION
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.

Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)
The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.
Approval secured to construct new Synroc Plant
ANSTO's neutrons will help miners see what's inside drill cores with new clarity
The mining industry is set to benefit from a new Australian capability that uses a nuclear scanning technique to detect the presence of precious metals and strategic minerals in a core sample.

Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
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.
