ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

ANSTO has been granted a patent in Australia and a number of European countries for the separation, a key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing, actinium-227, from process liquors used in minerals extraction.

The Australian Synchrotron has played a crucial role in the discovery of a new cancer drug for the treatment of leukaemia.

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.

ANSTO expert in molecular imaging contributed to international workshop.

ANSTO to ensure ultra-low radiation environment in newly-funded Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

Tool developed for producing F-18 radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging.

ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.

Million year lag time in transport of sediment in Murray Darling River Basin system.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

Applications open for 2017 ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Medal

Australia and Sri Lanks signs new partnership to fight chronic kidney disease.

The Chair of ANSTO, The Hon Dr Annabelle Bennett, AC SC, announced today that Mr Shaun Jenkinson has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of ANSTO following a global search for the position.
