What is radiation?
Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.
Managing Radioactive Waste
ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.
Micro-Computed Tomography beamline (MCT)
With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.
