ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

A new imaging technology developed at ANSTO makes it possible to image, identify and locate gamma-ray radiation in a safe and timely manner.

ANSTO is an experienced provider of Teacher Professional Development for Australian and International teachers and our courses cover a wide range of topics. Hear from expert speakers, receive new education resources, and develop lessons for your own class.

Two of Australia’s leading science organisations, ANSTO and the National Measurement Institute (NMI), which share areas of common interest in both measurement and research, signed a MOU formalising collaboration on 6 March 2019.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

Guide to successful proposals and experiments at the Powder Diffraction beamline.

ANSTO is a highly regulated organisation. Our governance system and processes provide critical guidance to effectively manage ANSTO’s activities. This section outlines the processes and systems that are in place to provide assurance to Government, our stakeholders and the community that we are working within our regulated and mandated requirements.

With over 70 years of nuclear expertise, ANSTO offers expert education and training programs

Discussions were held on possible areas on cooperation including research reactor operation and utilisation, environmental monitoring of mining tails, and food provenance.

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.

ANSTO and the User Meeting 2024 organising committee celebrate this years award recipients. 

Designed for Radiation Safety Officers working in industrial settings responsible for radioactive substances and/or radiation apparatus. ANSTO is a recognised leader in radiation safety training, delivering industry and regulator-approved courses for licences including IA7, IA8, IA10, IA12, IA19 & IA41.

Nuclear security experts and officials from Australia’s nuclear agencies have convened at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) headquarters in Vienna, Austria last week for the International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS).

Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers. 

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
