A lesson in Science and Sustainability.

Frequently asked questions about ANSTO for the community.

Bushfires heat soil to extreme temperatures and this causes oxidation of chromium to a highly toxic and carcinogenic form.

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.

ANSTO has released the Independent Safety Review of Building 23 - Nuclear medicine production facility.
