The Australian Synchrotron has played a crucial role in the discovery of a new cancer drug for the treatment of leukaemia.

ANSTO welcomes the recent announcement that the inaugural CEO for the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency (ARWA) has been appointed, following a global search. Mr Sam Usher will lead ARWA and comes to the role with almost three decades of experience in the nuclear industry. 

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

Potential new treatments and tools for depression under development.
