Communicating the role of nuclear science for the IAEA’s Sustainable Development Goals
In cooperation with ANSTO and for the third year running, the IAEA has recently hosted a two-week online training course for women professionals working in numerous nuclear industries around the world, titled 'Women 4 Nuclear Science in Education and Communications'.
Nuclear science helps prove earliest Aboriginal occupation
ANSTO researchers contribute to study which finds evidence of Aboriginal occupation 65,000 years ago in Northern Australia.
Nuclear tech helps power Perseverance Rover on Mars
A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.

Updates on developments in small modular reactor technologies
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.
Part 1: When solar radiation grounds our planes....
Radiation testing of electronic components at ANTO could benefit the aviation industry, regulators and most importantly, passengers as solar radiation events increase.
Getting the facts on milk fats: Melbourne research with potential to help premature babies digest milk
Radioactive capsule goes missing in Australian outback
A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.
Mo-99 Manufacturing Facility
ANSTO's Mo-99 manufacturing facility secures Australia’s ability to produce Mo-99 to meet current and future domestic demand and provide a significant proportion to support global demand.
