In 2023 we’re celebrating the 70th Anniversary since Australia began developing our nation’s Australia’s nuclear capabilities.

Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

A deep dive into data from ANSTO’s comprehensive aerosol sampling program (ASP) databases highlighted 12 environmental fingerprints of pollution sources for the Newcastle area.

The Japanese experience with leading-edge radiation treatment for cancer shows tremndous success

ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.

Commitment to undertake health research.

Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

ANSTO participates in nuclear medicine congress

ANSTOs capabilities are ideally suited for these investigations relating to quantum technologies.

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.

This program explores the mechanism and outcome of the interaction of radiation on biological systems in order to improve our understanding of the impact of radiation on the brain, optimise radiotherapy and develop mitigation strategies for space travellers.

An international team led by ANSTO has been awarded a prestigious program grant from the Foundation for Australia-Japan Studies.

Experts at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron are prioritising work that could hold the key to fast-tracking the development of a vaccine for COVID-19.
