First Joint J-PARC ANSTO Workshop in Tokai

Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle

Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years. 

This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.

Hock Ch'ng's primary responsibilities involve the formulation, development and implementation of strategies, programs, policies and procedures as creative solutions to complex business concerns involving technical, occupational health and safety (OHS),

Year 12 Physics

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. 

Teachers are requested to print enough copies of the relevant workbook for their class before their visit to ANSTO, as students will not be permitted to bring digital devices on-site.

Radionuclides in medicine

Radionuclides have been used routinely in medicine for more than 60 years. Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease. The radionuclides used in medicine have half-lives ranging from a few minutes to several days in order to minimise the radiation dose the patient receives. 

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.
