Chemical deuteration involves deuterating whole molecules or building blocks for the synthesis of a desired molecule by exposing them to heavy water (deuterium oxide) at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst. If required, compounds can then be synthesised from the deuterated building blocks using organic chemistry techniques.

ANSTO welcomes the recent announcement that the inaugural CEO for the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency (ARWA) has been appointed, following a global search. Mr Sam Usher will lead ARWA and comes to the role with almost three decades of experience in the nuclear industry. 

ANSTO has been using Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) techniques to analyse fine particle pollution samples collected from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.

Small modular reactors can be built using Generation IV reactor technologies, that old the promise of considerably higher efficiency for decarbonised energy production and industrial heat co-generation.

Our temperature sample environments include closed cycle refrigerators, cryofurnaces, cryostates, furnaces, rapid thermal devices, temperature baths and low temperature inserts.

The project aims to engage the wider cultural heritage community in addition to our internal research.
