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.

International study has revealed a clustering of charged particles in the microgravity environment of space,with implications for the development of materials and better drugs that depend on the mixing of two or more charged particles.

Stable, highly conductive 2D nanosheets of boron nitride promising new material.

Testing at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science supports an action plan just published by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fibre-based food contact packaging in Australia by December 2023.

The Australian Government’s nuclear agency, ANSTO, together with NSW Police and multiple state and federal authorities, has completed an operation to repatriate radioactive waste from the UK.

Research reveals that strong westerly winds weaken the Southern Ocean’s ability to store carbon and thereby contribute to faster accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Bushfires in proximity to ANSTO during the 2018 bushfires.

ANSTO provides multiple sources for radiation testing of materials and devices including Co-60 gamma sources, x-ray, proton and heavier ion-beams.

ANSTO hosted an international training workshop on Pacific isotope hydrology at its Lucas Heights facility in Sydney from 16 - 20 March 2026, bringing together experts and water resource practitioners from across the Pacific and partner organisations.

Neutron scattering has contributed to a 'tour de force' of chemistry led by Monash University.

Dr Catalina Curceanu will explore exotic atoms and impossible phenomena in the universe.
