Management of nuclear reactor fuel
ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.
A little bit of the moon just landed at ANSTO
Research on lunar meteorite and moon crater analogues coincides with Science Week.
Nuclear and ionising radiation detection and dosimetry
Our services include the use of techniques to develop innovative radiation detector technology, such as performing alpha spectroscopy to characterise charge collection capability and radiation transport simulation. We also have expertise in measuring the electrical characteristics of novel detectors and semiconductor devices.
70 years of scientific excellence has brought significant benefits to Australia
ANSTO is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.

Advanced materials research in microgravity earns NASA recognition
A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.
High-energy heavy ion microprobe
The high-energy heavy-ion microprobe is used for the characterisation or modification of material properties at depths from approximately 1 micrometre to maximum depths of up to 500 micrometres from the material surface.
New study reveals understanding of a basic physical property of charged particles in microgravity
International study has revealed a clustering of charged particles in the microgravity environment of space,with implications for the development of materials and better drugs that depend on the mixing of two or more charged particles.
