This illustrated periodic table explores key information about the chemical elements.
The small poster is also compatible with the ANSTO XR app on iOS and Google play. Alternatively, downloaded posters can be printed landscape on an A3 sheet and hung on a wall to maximise usability.

Australian Industry Becquerel Traceability Program (AIBTP)
The Australian Industry Becquerel Traceability Program (AIBTP) provides facilities with direct measurement traceability to the Australian standard for the activity of radionuclides used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Benefits of nuclear science
ANSTO uses nuclear research techniques to address many of the important issues of our time relating to the environment, human health and industry.

Aligning Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments
Scientists ensure their measurements are accurate and precise by regularly calibrating their instruments. In this data set, students manipulate and graph calibration data from Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments. Students must determine whether Taipan is functioning within the acceptable limits of error for the scientists' experiments.

Radionuclides in medicine
Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease.
For three unknown medical radionuclides, students will graph their decay over time, use the graph to calculate their half-life, and determine the identify and use of each radionuclide using background information provided.
Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
Technical Information - XFM beamline
Technical Information on the X-ray fluorescence microscopy at the Australian Synchrotron.
Role of the translocator protein in mitigating stress
TSPO is a protein that is associated with crucial cellular functions including the activity of the mitochondria. A mouse model in which the TSPO (18 kDa) is knocked out was developed at ANSTO in collaboration with The University of Sydney.
DINGO receives its operating licence
First molecular spectroscopy on Pelican
Industry applications
With significant expertise and capabilities in reactor technologies, ANSTO works collaboratively with academia and industry on specific projects that benefit the Australian technology sector.
Radiation Biologist

Looking back on 2016: OPAL has 300 days at full power
First Joint J-PARC ANSTO Workshop in Tokai
Radioisotopes in Medicine online learning module
Students explore the medical applications of radioisotopes using an online, scenario-based learning experience.
Students will:
- Select the appropriate radioisotope for each patient and their medical issue.
- Relate the characteristics of a medical radioisotope (half-life and type of radiation emitted) to its use.
- Complete decay equations for four commonly used radioisotopes.
A student workbook to accompany this module is available. Answers available upon request via education@ansto.gov.au
Nuclear remote online Laboratory (FarLabs)
Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FarLabs) have developed a nuclear remote online laboratory that schools can use to perform experiments with nuclear radiation. Two experiments allow students to investigate the penetrating power of different forms of radiation and how the amount of radiation decreases with distance.
The FarLabs project is led by the Department of Physics at La Trobe University in collaboration with James Cook University, Curtin University, Quantum Victoria, V3 Alliance, and ANSTO.
Year 12 Physics Tour
Our Year 12 Physics tour and depth study guide can be used as the starting point for a depth study about nuclear science, covering nuclear-related components of Module 8: From the Universe to the Atom.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
ANSTO STEAM Activities
ANSTO’s online STEAM activity resources encourage creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by incorporating the arts (the A in STEAM).
Try these activities at home, in the classroom, or during the school holidays! You only need a few things from around the house to do these activities, plus your imagination! We will be adding new activities at the end of each term. So, watch this space for more engaging and creative STEAM experiences coming soon!
