ANSTO has almost seventy years of experience in advancing an understanding of the management of spent nuclear fuel and delivering safe and reliable forms for radioactive waste. 

Ion beam analysis techniques can be used for trace element analysis and the surface characterisation of diverse materials.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

Early research at ANSTO has contributed to development of innovative submicron particle encapsulation technology.

A revised model has been developed that can more accurately predict the actual service life of an industrial component.

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

Efficient electro-catalysis of hydrogen from seawater represents a low-cost, abundant source of clean energy.

An accomplished international photographer has capture dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at our Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used.

ANSTO has hosted for the third time the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Practical Introduction to Nuclear Forensics Regional Training Course.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) is an independent group that provides advice to ANSTO Australian Synchrotron (AS) senior management on issues from a user perspective.
