The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported new archaeological research conducted by Flinders University and the University of Queensland that describes significant earth mound features used for cooking that were created by Aboriginal people in the Riverland region of South Australia.

Detailed data on ANSTO electricity use and CO2 emissions for FY2022 - FY2023

PhD candidate Vienna Wong is using her FutureNow Scholarship to research ultra-high temperature ceramics, which are emerging materials for extreme environments.

The Centre for Accelerator Science provides complementary capabilities to Synchrotron-based and the neutron-based research with the operation of four accelerators, associated beamlines, clean laboratories and in-house expertise in ion beam analysis (IBA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).

The panel will investigate a wide range of potential effects spanning radiological, environmental, climatic, agricultural, public health, and socio-economic impacts, through a scientifically rigorous and independent lens.

Stable isotopes are high useful in investigations of environmental samples.

Australia’s nuclear agency ANSTO is continuing to lead planning efforts to repatriate what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive from the United Kingdom in 2022.

Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

This month, ANSTO hosted a delegation from the International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) as part of the IPNDV’s Plenary meeting in Sydney. The meeting marked the first time Australia has hosted the IPNDV.

ANSTO has made two public submissions to parliamentary inquiries with another to be submitted in February 2020 on matters relating to nuclear technologies, their peaceful applications, and the nuclear fuel cycle.

Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).

Research to understand how contaminants move through the soil and affect ecosystems and humans as well estimating emissions.
