Infrastructure Magnetism

Infrastructure - Magnetism

Investigations of various aspects of magnetism can be conducted on all neutron-scattering instruments at OPAL.

Star Accelerator

Nuclear Reaction Analysis

Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) detects charged particles and is used predominantly to determine concentrations and depth profiles of the lighter elements.

x-ray of a suitcase

Flexible, printable X-ray detectors

Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.

Mineralogy Facility

Mineralogy Facility

Our dedicated mineralogists provide specialised knowledge on the mineralogy of ores/concentrates and the wide variety of solids and residues typically generated in hydromet processes. We have well-equipped facilities that can handle a diverse range of samples, particularly those containing elevated concentrations of uranium and thorium.

Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts

Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts

In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth. However, it is the secondary particles of lower energies created when galactic and cosmic radiation interacts with shielding that is of concern for astronauts.

The world’s best radon detector just got smaller

The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.

Progress in PNG

PNG Fisheries expresses great satisfaction with the progress of aquaculture initiative.

International Space Station

Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts

In collaboration with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the French International Space Agency (CNES), ANSTO scientists are undertaking research on the radiobiological effects of secondary particles that are created when radiation interacts with the shielding on the International Space Station.
