With over 70 years of nuclear expertise, ANSTO offers expert education and training programs

Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy developed at ANSTO.

Australian-first detector to accelerate cancer research unveiled.

ANSTO’s nuclear medicine processing and distribution facility assembles, loads, tests and distributes a range of nuclear medicine products, including Mo-99. The Mo-99 is dispensed into an ANSTO radiopharmaceutical Gentech® Generator where it decays to Tc-99m.

Favourable conceptual design review may lead to expanded role for Australia on ITER diagnostics.

ANSTO has collaborated on a study assessing the impact of the commonly-used food additive titanium dioxide (TiO2) on gut microbiota and inflammation.

ANSTO’s user office in Melbourne offers access to the Australian Synchrotron, a world-class research facility with over 4,000 user visits per year. ANSTO seeks collaboration and partnerships with research organisations, scientific users and commercial users.

When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.

ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose research reactor at Lucas Heights has officially returned to power and recommenced operations, following a months-long planned shutdown to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades.

This afternoon, the Chair of ANSTO, Dr Annabelle Bennett, wrote to all staff to let them know that CEO Dr Adi Paterson has decided to resign. She said the Board is deeply appreciative of the contributions Adi has made, including to the health, research and academic outputs of ANSTO during his tenure. Mr Shaun Jenkinson will continue as Acting CEO, while the Board undertakes a global search for a permanent CEO.

Sample environments, Data Analysis.

Environmental scientists at ANSTO have been undertaking research to gain a better understanding of the potential impact of contaminants on decommissioned offshore oil and gas infrastructure since 2017

Developed by ANSTO’s predecessor the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (known as the AAEC) in the late 1960s, the Technetium-99m Generator revolutionised nuclear medicine imaging in Australia by enabling imaging procedures to be performed not only in major capital cities but throughout regional and rural Australia.
