China’s vertical sandstone pillars studied using nuclear techniques

ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose research reactor at Lucas Heights has officially returned to power and recommenced operations, following a months-long planned shutdown to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades.

ANSTO and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have been recognised for their valuable contributions to the search and recovery efforts for a missing 8mm-long radioactive capsule in the Western Australian outback.

Lake sediments as environmental archives used in compilation of data.

The nuclear analysis team at ANSTO recently had a significant role in the re-design and optimisation of a cold neutron source facility for the reactor, its installation and the subsequent restart after a six-month shutdown.

A lift for fish at Tallowa Dam: Study on dietary impacts.

This science week ANSTO is releasing a new way for students across Australia to learn about the periodic table of elements with augmented reality (AR). ANSTO's Free AR experience unlocks the periodic table to reveal a world of protons, neutrons and electrons and illustrates how useful they are to science and industry in the 21st century.

ANSTO is proud to support calls for daring and innovative ideas to fight COVID-19 as part of the ACS online Flatten The Curve hackathon.

The Centre for Acclerator Science operates accelerators that can be used for space radiation testing.

It is critical across many industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. By accurately imaging radiation across the full energy range, CORIS360™ improves operational decision making across many industry settings.

The radiography program focuses on the development of Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT) from initial preclinical work, to clinical trials and finally commercial translation and licencing.

Accurate ‘fingerprinting’ tool to verify source of origin is in development with collaborators from academia and industry.
