The release of the Oppenheimer film, the story of the director of the Manhattan Project, has prompted many people to go online and search for an explanation of the difference between fission and fusion, two fundamental scientific concepts.
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 is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.
Year 11 STEM student and aspiring physicist was given the opportunity of a lifetime to tour ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus and meet some of Australia’s top researchers.
Participate in live radiation demonstrations, cover syllabus content and visit ANSTO virtually during our online depth study classes for Year 11 Chemistry.
- Investigate properties of different radioisotopes and learn about their uses in medicine, industry and environmental research.
- Consider the scientific method and gather data during a live radiation experiment.

Wombat is a high intensity neutron diffractometer that is primarily used as a high-speed powder diffractometer, but has also expanded into texture characterisation and single-crystal measurement, particularly diffuse scattering.
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
Pamela Naidoo-Ameglio takes up executive role
Physicist and cancer research Dr Mitra Safavi-Naeini, Macromolecular crystallography beamline scientist Dr Eleanor Campbell and Engineering Support Workshop Manager Bianca Shepherd have been chosen by Science and Technology Australia as the next Superstars of STEM
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 shares expertise on food authenticity research using nuclear techniques with Southeast Asia stakeholders.
