ANSTO's OPAL reactor is one of the world's most advanced and reliable research reactors today. To ensure we can continue operating OPAL safely and reliably and maximise utilisation, ANSTO must regularly carry out maintenance and upgrades.

ANSTO-nandin innovation hub win global hackathon challenge from NASA with COVID19 solution.

Today The Australian ran a story entitled “Fears for indigenous lands as foreign nuclear waste headed our way”, 18 September 2018. ANSTO was not contacted in relation to the article, but can provide the following information in response which can be attributed to a spokesperson.

ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities by application. Please ensure that you contact the relevant ANSTO scientist for advice before submitting a proposal.

The X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy beamline offers a range of x-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques at submicron length-scales. The beamline has two microscopes optimised for complementary studies.

You may be confident about the major crystallographic phases of your ore body – but what about those minor phases that can affect processing or cause long-term problems with remediation?

The Think Science! competition encourages students in Years 3-10 to learn science inquiry skills in a fun and accessible way! Entry is FREE and there are generous prizes for winning schools. Any topic can be chosen, and special materials are not required.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

Neutron imaging or tomography creates a whole series of three-dimensional images of an object that can be reconstructed.

A lesson in Science and Sustainability.

Lithium Australia, a company that has a close association with ANSTO’s business unit Minerals, has been awarded a US patent for its unique lithium mining technology SiLeach®.

Scientists from UNSW and ANSTO have characterised the structure of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonites, and nitrides (MXenes) materials, that could be used as a lightweight fire-retardant filler and in energy storage devices.

Cosmogenic nuclides measurements at ANSTO to be part of large international Antarctic glacier research.

Theinstrument is typically used to study diffusing water molecules or yet larger molecules like polymers or biological molecules. In addition, Emu can reveal quantum-mechanical tunnelling.
