Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

Although Australia does not use nuclear energy for power needs, it does have the nuclear capabilities, knowledge, and expertise provided by ANSTO to ensure the national interest in nuclear matters is protected and advanced.

Moving earth in the search for dark matter: laboratory construction underway at mine site.

Advanced nuclear reactors, such as molten salt-based reactors and very high-temperature reactors provide a viable option within a future mix of energy systems.

The proof of concept for the approach used in the early development of the new gamma-ray imaging system has been published,

This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.

The application of cosomogenic radionuclides in the Earth sciences has provided the essential geochronological timing of continental and polar glacial history over the past few millions years, and revolutionised our understanding of the processes controlling landscape evolution on spatial scales of metres to kilometres.
