Let your students lead a 30-minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts about one of the following three topics:
- Nuclear medicines
- Nuclear techniques to study the environment
- Fission and its applications in reactors
Please ensure your students do some pre-reading about the research topic and come prepared with questions to ask during the session. We also ask that teachers send us a copy of the student questions the day before, so we can adequately prepare for your session. Teachers must be present during the session with their students.
