Developed by ANSTO’s predecessor the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (known as the AAEC) in the late 1960s, the Technetium-99m Generator revolutionised nuclear medicine imaging in Australia by enabling imaging procedures to be performed not only in major capital cities but throughout regional and rural Australia.

The Australian Government recently announced $30 million to design a new world-leading nuclear medicine manufacturing facility at ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus, and replace and an ageing facility.

Modelling and experimentation - a powerful combination in probing mechanical properties of ion irradiated materials through nanoindentation.

The new facility will be built around a product line of ANSTO’s design – a new Technetium-99m generator – that will enable greater process automation than is possible with existing technology, leading to improvements in efficiency, quality and importantly the highest levels of production safety.
