ANSTO provides multiple sources for radiation testing of materials and devices including Co-60 gamma sources, x-ray, proton and heavier ion-beams.

The Australian Synchrotron is a source of powerful X-rays and infrared radiation that can be used for a wide range of scientific and technical purposes. Synchrotron X-rays are millions of times brighter than those produced by conventional X-ray machines in laboratories and hospitals.

Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering Laboratories consists of four laboratories adjacent to the Neutron Guide Hall within the OPAL Neutron Beam Facility.

ANSTO is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities and to implementing strategies which have a positive effect on the environment. The ANSTO Work Health Safety and Executive Committee oversees this process.

Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.

A new radiocarbon dating facility opened at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will complement the extensive radiocarbon facilities at ANSTO’s world-leading Centre for Accelerator Science

In April 15, 1953, Australia entered the nuclear science arena, when the Atomic Energy Act came into effect. The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) followed and in 1987 the AAEC evolved into the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) as it’s known today.
