On the 10th of October 2025, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.

Combining resources and expertise to address climate change in the Asia-Pacific

Twenty-four participants from Asia and the Pacific travelled to ANSTO for an International Atomic Energy Agency Regional Training Course on ‘Production and preclinical evaluation of emerging cyclotron-based radiopharmaceuticals’

Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of  activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.

Ready to start a hands-on career? ANSTO’s Apprenticeship Program gives you the chance to earn while you learn, build real trade skills and contribute to work that supports Australia’s leading nuclear science and technology organisation.

The ANSTO Science Series is a live and virtual meet-up that focuses on the key capacities of ANSTO’s people, partners and facilities and how they are meeting global challenges in sustainable industries, medicine, advanced manufacturing and in accelerating small business.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.

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.

The Radon Analytical Laboratory operates a comprehensive suite of instrumentation for the monitoring and analysis of natural radioactivity resulting from radon, thoron and their progeny.

Industrial Engagement Manager at ANSTO and Professor in Advanced Structural Materials at the University of Sydney, Anna Paradowska is among the authors who contributed to a 2019 paper that was recently awarded the ASM International ASM Henry Marion Howe Medal in Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A.

Strategic partnership with the University of Sydney expanded to continue a long history of research collaboration.

Over the past 70 years ANSTO has been building Australia’s nuclear expertise and despite being small in scale, today we are complex and sophisticated nuclear nation.

In Australia and the Southeast Asia basin, the ANSTO facility offers a wide range of unique nuclear-beam techniques for cultural heritage research.

Project focuses on enhancing crop productivity in Asia Pacific countries by improving soil and water.

ANSTO has hosted for the third time the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Practical Introduction to Nuclear Forensics Regional Training Course.

ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.
