Big boost in jobs and funding for Innovation Precinct
Jobs supported through the nandin Innovation Centre at ANSTO have skyrocketed 360 per cent since opening, with member businesses raising more than $3.9 million in capital, in a major boost for the local Sutherland Shire economy.
ANSTO joins international counterparts in peaceful nuclear monitoring
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.
Science supports species survival by tackling contaminants and developing ingenious approaches
High-energy heavy ion microprobe
The high-energy heavy-ion microprobe is used for the characterisation or modification of material properties at depths from approximately 1 micrometre to maximum depths of up to 500 micrometres from the material surface.
Improving rail transport
Funding awarded for research on an additive manufacturing technique for use on rail infrastructure.
Distinguished researchers who use synchrotron techniques recognised
Restarting a nuclear reactor series: It’s all in the preparation and slow and careful actions
ANSTO recently re-started the OPAL Reactor after a six-month shutdown for essential maintenance and the installation of an upgraded facility.
Samples - Far Infrared
Samples and techniques on the Far Infrared beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.
Nuclear science helps to re-write the history books
Emu - High-Resolution Backscattering Spectrometer
Theinstrument is typically used to study diffusing water molecules or yet larger molecules like polymers or biological molecules. In addition, Emu can reveal quantum-mechanical tunnelling.
Professor Calum Drummond awarded the 2015 Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation
Improving the performance of cold sprayed additive manufactured Titanium
Animal Ethics Approval - Australian Synchrotron
Guidance for obtaining and maintaining human or animal ethics approval at the Australian Synchrotron.
Advanced materials research
New oxygen ion conducting material for use in solid oxide fuel cells and other devices
The evolution of molten salt reactors
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.
