Research is undertaken to characterise and optimise the beneficial impacts of radiation on living matter

The Centre for Acclerator Science operates accelerators that can be used for space radiation testing.

A new source added to ANSTO’s cosmogenic toolkit to study past climate and landscape change

China’s vertical sandstone pillars studied using nuclear techniques

Rutherford backscattering primarily provides information about the concentration of elements VS depth in a light material.

Recently, a small delegation, including Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka representatives from the remote outback settlement of Innamincka SA, travelled to ANSTO to deliver rare wooden Aboriginal archaeological artefacts for measurements to determine their age and origin.

Government response to 2016 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap

ANSTO is a major supplier of Australia’s radioactive isotopes used in nuclear medicine, delivering around 10,000 patient doses each week.  Health-based research and development in Australia and overseas also benefit greatly from ANSTO’s unique capabilities and expertise in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease using nuclear and accelerator infrastructure.​
