ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.

In Australia and the Southeast Asia basin, the ANSTO facility offers a wide range of unique nuclear-beam techniques for cultural heritage research.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

Dr Rezwanul Haque, now a senior lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, received a national Young Scientist Award for his earlier research using nuclear techniques at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to find cracks and signs of stress in riveted joints in sheet metal in car bodies.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

ANSTO expertise focused on understanding of reduced water levels at Thirlmere Lakes in three year collaborative project

Researchers use Kitaev theoretical model to explain unusual phenomenon in two-dimensional material.

Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

Taipan is used to study the collective motion of atoms, phonons and magnons in materials, and phase transitions and processes involving thermal energy.
