Leading fine particle pollution monitoring reaches 30yr milestone & looks to the future

ANSTO commenced an aerosol sampling program thirty years ago this week to characterise these pollutants and ultimately, identify their sources, which has taken it to the forefront of environmental monitoring of this type in Australia and the region.

Managing Radioactive Waste

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

Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis

Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.

Success of Australian Synchrotron Open Day reflects public interest in science

Close to 3000 members of the public decided to have a look at a building that is shaped like a doughnut, is as big as a football field and creates light more powerful than the sun when the Australian Synchrotron held its bi-annual Open Day held on Sunday, 16 October.

Meet an Expert

Let your students lead a 30-minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts about one of the following three topics:

- Nuclear medicines
- Nuclear techniques to study the environment
- Fission and its applications in reactors

Please ensure your students do some pre-reading about the research topic and come prepared with questions to ask during the session. We also ask that teachers send us a copy of the student questions the day before, so we can adequately prepare for your session. Teachers must be present during the session with their students.
