Community group tours (Lucas Heights, Sydney)
This tour provides an in depth look into the world of nuclear science and the work ANSTO does in the areas of health, the environment and delivering solutions for industry.
Tours are designed for adults and children 8 years and over, and can be booked for groups from Monday to Friday, subject to availability. Groups must be at least 12 people. These are general tours for community groups - if you are a school group, please see our range of syllabus-linked school tours.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Cost: $15 per person
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
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

Tracing the impact of toxic metals
Two ANSTO environmental scientists are part of a large team led by the Australian National University (ANU), who have received an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant to investigate how environmental change and human activities since industrialisation have impacted the transport and deposition of toxic metals on the south coast of Australia, Tasmania, and remote Southern Ocean islands.
Remarkable clinical trial results shared internationally
A targeted radioactive infusion that is a game-changer in late-stage prostate cancer can also dramatically improve outcomes for patients in earlier stages of this disease, a Peter Mac-led study has shown.
Twenty PhD students take on an innovation challenge linked to leading Australian industry partners
Nine PhD students are taking part in a rare opportunity to deliver an innovative solution to a real-world challenge for an industry partner in ANSTO’s National Graduate Innovation Forum in association with the Australian Council of Deans of Science and the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering.
Studying Western Australian caves to help us understand climate change
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.
