Come and discover the world of nuclear science at ANSTO - book a school tour in Sydney today.

A Laue-diffraction neutron alignment camera for single crystals.

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.

The Australian Government’s nuclear agency, ANSTO, together with NSW Police and multiple state and federal authorities, has completed an operation to repatriate radioactive waste from the UK.

ANSTO has contributed to a recent publication in Nature Communications Biology that represents a landmark achievement in structural biology, an understanding of protein regulation mechanisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), a global health threat.

An international research team has discovered how a bacterial toxin, known as Ssp, is capable of entering and killing a wide range of living cells, including human cells using the Australian Synchrotron.

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

ANSTO is proud to host the Shorebirds Competition for the fourth year. This unique environmental poster competition is free to enter and offers over $4000 in prizes (insert link to prizes button) for students and schools!

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

ANSTO is coordinating and facilitating a new cycle of Australian project proposals for the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA).

This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.

ANSTO is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.
