ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

ANSTO recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.

ANSTO has a role in the global monitoring system on behalf of Australia to ensure non-proliferation of weapons and that nuclear technology is only used for peaceful purposes.

The start of ANSTO’s research to support the Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) program commenced with the official launch of the program and the departure of two students from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who are affiliated with ANSTO to Antarctica’s Macquarie Island for six months to collect environmental samples as part of the (SAEF) program.

Since 1962, the United Uranium Scholarship has helped promising young scientists in the field of nuclear energy extend their knowledge and expertise. In 2022, scholarships were awarded to several ANSTO researchers, including Phil Sutton.

Pioneering work on materials for energy production, such as lithium ion batteries, has made ANSTO a centre of specialist capabilities and expertise.

Australian clean energy technology company, entX Limited is taking advantage of ANSTO’s unique capacity to generate tailored radioisotope products in the OPAL multi-purpose nuclear reactor to advance a series of innovative projects.

Charcoal particles from recent bushfires in NSW were carried 50 kilometres by the wind, which has significance for fire history reconstruction.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.
