The ANSTO Work Experience Program is extensive, interactive and hands on! It offers students a rare opportunity to engage with world-class scientists, gain exposure to working laboratories and gain insights into pioneering nuclear science research at ANSTO.
ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years.
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).
ANSTO uses nuclear research techniques to address many of the important issues of our time relating to the environment, human health and industry.
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.
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.

Role at ANSTO
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.
Sample environments, Data analysis.
Technical Information on the X-ray fluorescence microscopy at the Australian Synchrotron.
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.
With significant expertise and capabilities in reactor technologies, ANSTO works collaboratively with academia and industry on specific projects that benefit the Australian technology sector.
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
As a new or returning facility user, there are certain requirements that must be completed in advance to allow you to participate in your planned ANSTO experiment(s).
