ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.

ANSTO has contributed to research that  indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies,  allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last  ca. 65,000 years.

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

Below lists some useful programs for data reduction, search matching, analysis and structure visualisation of diffraction data.

Charcoal particles from recent bushfires in NSW were carried 50 kilometres by the wind, which has significance for fire history reconstruction.

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.

Challenge your understanding of nuclear science and technology with fun secondary school activities, exciting competitions and unique tours of our facilities.

At ANSTO we understand that diverse teams produce better outcomes – and we value the merit that a diverse perspective can bring to the quality and outcomes of our work, and the way we get the job done.

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.

Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.
