ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.

Neutron scattering techniques help characterise the structure of a particle based emulsifier

ANSTO to ensure ultra-low radiation environment in newly-funded Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

Melbourne researchers map the structure of a key COVID-19 protein using the Australian Synchrotron

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.

A large team of international researchers have used synchrotron techniques to understand how key proteins contribute to the virulence of the rabies virus, sometimes called the “zombie virus.”

Monash University, University of Queensland and Australian National University researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron in their study of meteorites found on Earth that could be used in future to find evidence of life on the planet Mars.

International collaboration uses Australian Synchrotron on pioneering malaria research.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.

Study explored how key proteins manage dietary cholesterol absorption and elucidated crucial transport mechanisms that contribute to cholesterol balance in the body.

Research has demonstrated that internally generated neutrons could be used to effectively target micro-infiltrates and cancer cells outside of the defined treatment regions.

ANSTO offers a diverse range of career opportunities within science, engineering, corporate services and trade disciplines.

Collaborative research predicted the distortion and performance of metal parts made by laser deposition.
