Updates on developments in small modular reactor technologies
There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.
Using the power of artificial intelligence to help detect disease
An international collaboration led by The University of Sydney and supported by ANSTO has developed an advanced, innovative artificial intelligence application that could be used to help examine tissue samples and identify signs of disease/

Nuclear techniques used in investigation of a new class of micro and nanoscale zinc fertilisers.
Accelerator Systems Overview
Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts
In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth. However, it is the secondary particles of lower energies created when galactic and cosmic radiation interacts with shielding that is of concern for astronauts.

Reconstructing a history of palaeoclimate in south-eastern Australia
The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.
