Federal Parliament’s House Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy has presented its report, arising from its Inquiry into the prerequisites for nuclear energy in Australia today.

ANSTO recently hosted a public Ask Us Anything event on nuclear medicine, sharing information on how we safely manufacture and distribute nuclear medicine across Australia each week to hundreds of hospitals and clinics.

In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.

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

A dedicated team of radiation specialists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are behind the successful detection and rapid retrieval of a missing radioactive source in outback Western Australia.

Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.

The nuclear analysis team at ANSTO recently had a significant role in the re-design and optimisation of a cold neutron source facility for the reactor, its installation and the subsequent restart after a six-month shutdown.

This week women in science from 16 countries came together like never before. Inspiring women, young and old, were the first to complete the W4NSEC (Women for Nuclear Science Education and Communication) program that is designed to support women who are wanting to improve their education and communication skills in nuclear science.

Researchers from Murdoch University and associated collaborators are using ANSTO’s unique nuclear capabilities to gain detailed information about how wheat crops take in administered micronutrients to maximise their efficient use.

In 2023 we’re celebrating the 70th Anniversary since Australia began developing our nation’s Australia’s nuclear capabilities.

Two early career nuclear scientists who received international scholarships have spent time in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle group at ANSTO are making progress on their work to improve nuclear fuel.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

ANSTO environmental scientists have alerted the scientific community of the critical need to monitor changes to ice containing potential nuclear fallout that reached Antarctica from 20th century atmospheric weapons testing.

Nuclear security experts and officials from Australia’s nuclear agencies have convened at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) headquarters in Vienna, Austria last week for the International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS).

The workshop will offer a comprehensive introduction to the latest scientific analytical tools which are exclusively offered across the facilities under the operation of ANSTO, including neutron, synchrotron and accelerator based techniques.
