Neutron and gamma ghost imaging are important scientific developments reported in two publications, and the subject of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant awarded to a team that includes ANSTO scientists

Radioactive phosphorous for implantable medical device to treat pancreatic cancer in global clinical trial

Ultra small angle neutron scattering on Kookaburra is used to study the size and shape of objects of size 10 micrometres and below.

Australia’s nuclear agency ANSTO is continuing to lead planning efforts to repatriate what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive from the United Kingdom in 2022.

The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.

ANSTO addresses key scientific questions in the nuclear fuel cycle for both the current generation of nuclear reactors and future systems.

Contributing to research that strengthens the defence of Australia

Inspiring young women to be part of next generation of scientists.

On the 10th of October 2025, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.

Padstow North and Caringbah North selected as winners of ANSTO's Top Coder competition.

Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is well-known for facilitating incredible science and creating life-saving nuclear medicines, but for the last 40 years it’s been quietly producing a largely unsung net zero hero: Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) silicon.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
