ANSTO recognises the contribution of staff for outstanding work, innovation, and excellence
ANSTO announces the recipients of the 2022 organisational awards
Interstellar measurements at ANSTO provide new insights into the formation of gold and other heavy elements
ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science measures extra-terrestrial plutonium in a study to clarify the origin of the heavier elements
Radionuclides in medicine
Radionuclides have been used routinely in medicine for more than 60 years. Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease. The radionuclides used in medicine have half-lives ranging from a few minutes to several days to minimise the patient's radiation dose.
Students will:
- use MS Excel to construct simple graphs of decay of three unknown medical radionuclides
- use their graph to calculate the half-life of the radionuclides
- determine the identity and use of each radionuclide using the background information provided.
Speeding up your path to activity and selectivity
How expensive and time consuming are your tests for optimising your catalyst?
ANSTO in consultation with partners has developed a specialised training course to support first responder agencies in ensuring personnel are effectively prepared for response to radiological and nuclear emergency situations.
Sydney
Imaging at ANSTO supported Curtin University-led research that discovered the oldest 3D heart in a 380-million-year-old fossilised fish
Researchers have discovered a 380-million-year-old heart – the oldest ever found – alongside a separate fossilised stomach, intestine and liver in an ancient jawed fish, shedding new light on the evolution of our own bodies.
Reducing cadmium in cocoa
New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.
New global, first-of-a-kind ANSTO Synroc facility
A new nuclear medicine waste processing facility that showcases ANSTO Synroc technology is under construction.
A kilometre of cores and counting: the mighty ITRAX
ITRAX has now analysed more than a kilometre of cores since it became operational in 2012.
Breakthrough on virus infecting rare and endangered parrots
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.
Million-year-old ice core recaptures climate history
Retrieving an Antarctic ice core more than a million years old presents challenges and opportunities.
Plans to safely manage medical and research waste
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.
