ANSTO is a major supplier of Australia’s radioactive isotopes used in nuclear medicine, delivering around 10,000 patient doses each week. Health-based research and development in Australia and overseas also benefit greatly from ANSTO’s unique capabilities and expertise in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease using nuclear and accelerator infrastructure.
Applications on the Quokka instrument at ANSTO.
Collaborators used X-ray imaging to understand the fine detail of how a damaging fungal pathogen reduces leaf function and grain yield of wheat crops.
Ancient groundwater in Australia contributing carbon to food webs through surface water.
Nuclear engineer, Robert Mardus-Hall, with his research partner Andrew Pastrello, are developing nuclear power based solutions for space missions to the Moon and Mars.

With the screening of the popular HBO series about Chernobyl, we asked our Nuclear Analysis team for their insights on key differences between the reactor in the TV series, a Generation II RBMK power reactor and ANSTO’s state of the art research reactor OPAL.
Minerals Principal Consultant, Dr Karin Soldenhoff, was honoured with the 2024 NSW Women in Mining -Technological Innovation award last week for her work as technical lead on the Australia Strategic Metals (ASM) Dubbo Project, and development of a new solvent extraction technology to separate rare earth and other critical elements.
ARPANSA has given ANSTO approval to begin testing the neutron reflectometer, Spatz
Research to determine the potential dose from long- lived radioactive substances at mining, legacy sites and nuclear facilities.
System includes a vibrating-sample magnetometer, AC susceptibility, heat capacity and resistivity measurement capability.
In this resource, students learn about our growing understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures using radiocarbon dating. Students will:
- learn about radiocarbon dating and its applications to cultural heritage materials.
- analyse and interpret different texts and videos to better understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
- build literacy and numeracy capabilities using cloze passages, writing a glossary, interpreting graphs, answering comprehension questions, and making a timeline and a map to summarise the research stories.
The activities address these Australian Curriculum Science Understanding and Inquiry Skills:
Students learn:
- all matter is made of atoms that are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons; natural radioactivity arises from the decay of nuclei in atoms (ACSSU177)
- investigating how radiocarbon and other dating methods have been used to establish that Aboriginal Peoples have been present on the Australian continent for more than 60,000 years (OI.6)
- to communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, including constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations (ACSIS174)
