ANSTO has a full suite of mineralogical, chemical and hydrometallurgical facilities from laboratory through to pilot scale.

ANSTO recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.

Nuclear power is used as a reliable and clean energy solution in most OECD countries and many other parts of the world. Although it is banned in Australia, a number of government reviews are looking at current prohibitions on nuclear power.

The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.

Supporting healthcare professionals in Australia with easy-to-access resources related to ANSTO’s Gentech® Generator.

On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

This science week ANSTO (August 10th - 18th) is running a classroom competition using the ANSTO Periodic Table and our new ANSTO XR app.

The 2025 Deaf Youth Science Camp is a chance for Deaf/hard-of-hearing young people (aged 12-17 years old) to participate in an immersive science experience. At the camp, participants will do hands-on science activities, go on tours of different science facilities, and meet Deaf STEM professionals. The camp is also an opportunity to develop personal and leadership skills as well as enhance friendship networks.

ANSTO has agreed to participate in an Australian trial of a review of research infrastructure access proposals in which applicants remain anonymous to aid the removal of structural barriers to the career progression of Women in STEM.

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.

Discover the many career opportunities in the nuclear industry on a special behind the scenes tour of ANSTO.

The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.

A world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light-X rays and infrared radiation a million times brighter than the sun.

The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.

ANSTO’s user office in Melbourne offers access to the Australian Synchrotron, a world-class research facility with over 4,000 user visits per year. ANSTO seeks collaboration and partnerships with research organisations, scientific users and commercial users.

ANSTO's OPAL reactor is one of the world's most advanced and reliable research reactors today. To ensure we can continue operating OPAL safely and reliably and maximise utilisation, ANSTO must regularly carry out maintenance and upgrades.
