Seven of Australia’s top nuclear medicine professionals have been briefed on ANSTO’s plans to manage radioactive waste, as well as to support nuclear medicine innovation in Australia.

ANSTO is taking its innovative ANSTO Synroc® and CORIS360® technologies to the world stage at the Waste Management Symposia 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona USA this week (10 – 14 March 2024). Joining over 45 other countries and around 3,000 attendees, an Australian Government contingent comprising of ANSTO and the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency is in attendance to showcase Australia’s extensive radioactive waste management capabilities.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.

Aussie development offering significant benefits to the energy industry.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

A site for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility has been acquired, with the new facility to be built near the town of Kimba on the South Australian Eyre Peninsula. 

With zero carbon emissions, green hydrogen is a promising fuel for many industries. PhD candidate Robert Walwyn, is researching new, advanced materials for safe and effective hydrogen gas storage.

Using the past to illuminate the future: Brothers collaborate on important science documentary for ABC TV

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.

Creating a safe, inclusive and respectful online community for all.

ANSTO Synroc technology provides a safe, secure matrix for the immobilisation and final disposal of radioactive waste.

Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is well-known for facilitating incredible science and creating life-saving nuclear medicines, but for the last 40 years it’s been quietly producing a largely unsung net zero hero: Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) silicon.

International interest is building in Australia’s new multi-million-dollar radioactive waste processing facility at the Sydney campus of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).

ANSTO has contributed to work by scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology on a promising proton conductor for next-generation ceramic fuel cells.
