In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth.

The ANSTO Senior Leaders review and agree on issues and actions with organisation-wide significance.

ANSTO Publications Online is a digital repository for publications authored by ANSTO staff and collaborators since 1956.

Research is being undertaken through an Australian Research Council Discovery Project "Reconstructing Australia’s fire history from cave stalagmites", led by Professor Andy Baker at UNSW Sydney and Dr. Pauline Treble at ANSTO. The project aims to calibrate the fire-speleothem relationship and develop coupled fire and climate records for the last millennium in southwest Australia.

ANSTO offers access to a range of scholarships, awards, grants and prizes. Find out what's open for application.

For more than half a century, ANSTO's specialised services have supported the unique requirements of customers working in health, agriculture, defence, mining, nuclear medicine and more.

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

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.

A high-level strategy for ANSTO to support environmental sustainability

The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

The Powder Diffraction beamline at the Australian Synchrotron is optimised for carrying out structural investigation under non ambient conditions and as a function of time.

Ultra-flexible electronics has many potential applications within areas such as for example the military, healthcare and energy.

Frequently asked questions about ANSTO for the community.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

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.

New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.

ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.

Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of  activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.

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