Routine transport of spent nuclear fuel

In April 15, 1953, Australia entered the nuclear science arena, when the Atomic Energy Act came into effect. The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) followed and in 1987 the AAEC evolved into the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) as it’s known today.

ANSTO plays a leading role in measuring and characterising fine particles from a range of locations around Australia and internationally.

A new continuous record of temperature dating back 12,000 years provides an import resource in understanding current and future climate changes,

Thirty years of ANSTO's unique capability in monitoring fine particle pollution provides insight on bushfire smoke.
