Two ANSTO nominees for On the Job competition
Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering Publications
Scientists and researchers within ANSTO's Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering area have been published in a wide range of publications and have presented at many conferences.
Investigating isotopes
Learn about isotopes using real examples and real data, including comprehensive isotopic data of the first twenty chemical elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium). Teachers can use the accompanying worksheet, in sections or in its entirety, to develop student skills in literacy, numeracy, critical and creative thinking and ICT. These activities are suitable for students in Years 9 to 12.
Students will:
- learn how the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope affects its nuclear properties
- construct a section of the Table of isotopes, using MS Excel
- investigate the properties and uses of different isotopes
Collaboration publishes landmark blue carbon study
ANSTO environmental scientists contribute to investigation of carbon capture in wetlands.
ANSTO's material scientists honoured
Defence Materials Technology Centre honours achievements of two ANSTO collaborators.
International award recognises achievement
ANSTO's reactor utilisation team has received an international award.
ANSTO and UNSW scientists unlock Australia’s bushfire history using stalagmites
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.
Proposed new ANSTO waste facility
The independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, is currently accepting submissions about ANSTO’s planned $59.8 million Intermediate Level Solid Waste Storage Facility.

ANSTO’s CORIS360®, an advanced radiation imaging solution, has been awarded two Gold Good Design Awards from Good Design Australia, winning in the categories of Product Design/ Commercial and Industrial as well as Engineering Design.
Diabetes Awareness Week: The importance of insulin
Communicating the role of nuclear science for the IAEA’s Sustainable Development Goals
In cooperation with ANSTO and for the third year running, the IAEA has recently hosted a two-week online training course for women professionals working in numerous nuclear industries around the world, titled 'Women 4 Nuclear Science in Education and Communications'.
Sharing expertise with Japan
The National Deuteration facility is assisting with the establishment of a Japanese Chemical Deuteration Facility.

Accommodation Information
Meet an Expert
Let your students lead a 30-minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts about one of the following three topics:
- Nuclear medicines
- Nuclear techniques to study the environment
- Fission and its applications in reactors
Our staff are experienced science communicators and can discuss ANSTO's research with secondary classes at an appropriate level of detail.
Please ensure your students do some pre-reading about the research topic and come prepared with questions to ask during the session. We also ask that teachers send us a copy of the student questions the day before, so we can adequately prepare for your session.
Teachers must be present during the session with their students.
Cost: Free
National Deuteration Facility
The National Deuteration Facility offers the facilities and expertise to produce molecules where all or part of the molecular hydrogen is replaced with deuterium. This enables complex investigations of the relationship between the structure of molecules and their function using neutron scattering and other techniques.
