ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

ANSTO addresses key scientific questions in the nuclear fuel cycle for both the current generation of nuclear reactors and future systems.

The work of the group comprises Radioactivity Measurement Standards, Radioanalytical chemistry, Environmental Radioactivity Measurement Centre, Nuclear security science and Environmental monitoring.

ANSTO provides secondary students with a range of learning resources for those interested in science or studying for exams. For teachers, ANSTO provides learning resources and professional development, as well as in-school-term science tours and videoconferences. Workbooks are provided as required learning material to accompany a school visit to ANSTO. They can also be used on their own as a classroom resource.

ANSTO's procurement policy is closely aligned with the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines and makes use of the Australian National Audit Office guidelines on ethics, accountability and transparency.

ANSTO recognises the traditional indigenous owners of the land at all its sites and works to contribute to the recognition of the indigenous cultural heritage of Australia.

Join us for this online webinar to explore and discuss the huge opportunities in growing a dynamic and impactful future nuclear workforce. 

ANSTO’s nuclear medicine processing and distribution facility assembles, loads, tests and distributes a range of nuclear medicine products, including Mo-99. The Mo-99 is dispensed into an ANSTO radiopharmaceutical Gentech® Generator where it decays to Tc-99m.

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.

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.

Connect with the businesses and organisations driving advanced manufacturing and supporting green technologies.

ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

ANSTO operates a range of cobalt-60 gamma irradiators, providing the Australian community with a range of irradiation services for medical, health, industry, agriculture and research purposes.

The Detection & Imaging group builds on ANSTO’s 70-year history of scientific achievements and contributions in meeting the nuclear needs of industry, globally.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.
