Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

A role for nuclear energy generation in clean hydrogen production: Background

New energy technologies, including hydrogen production, are being investigated to achieve decarbonisation.

Small modular reactors can be built with Generation IV reactor designs

Small modular reactors can be built using Generation IV reactor technologies, that old the promise of considerably higher efficiency for decarbonised energy production and industrial heat co-generation.

Temperature

Our temperature sample environments include closed cycle refrigerators, cryofurnaces, cryostates, furnaces, rapid thermal devices, temperature baths and low temperature inserts.

Showcasing ANSTO's Innovative Technologies at Phoenix's Waste Management Symposia

ANSTO is taking its innovative ANSTO Synroc® and CORIS360® technologies to the world stage at the Waste Management Symposia 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona USA this week (10 – 14 March 2024). Joining over 45 other countries and around 3,000 attendees, an Australian Government contingent comprising of ANSTO and the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency is in attendance to showcase Australia’s extensive radioactive waste management capabilities.

Biodeuteration

Biodeuteration involves the growth of microorganisms in a heavy water (deuterium oxide) culture medium supplemented with either a deuterated or hydrogenated carbon substrate, depending on the level of deuteration required. The biomass is harvested and the deuterated molecule (e.g. protein) is purified and characterised.
