Managing Radioactive Waste

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

Radioisotopes

Using the OPAL multipurpose reactor,, ANSTO can provide a diverse suite of radioisotopes for research and applications

ANSTO continually monitors environmental gamma radiation from a station located in Engadine NSW. ANSTO uses environmental radiation data to evaluate atmospheric dispersion from its site. This radiation is almost completely natural background radiation.

Headed to Antarctica

Young researcher accepted into the Australian Antarctic Science Program.

Nuclear and ionising radiation detection and dosimetry

Our services include the use of techniques to develop innovative radiation detector technology, such as performing alpha spectroscopy to characterise charge collection capability and radiation transport simulation. We also have expertise in measuring the electrical characteristics of novel detectors and semiconductor devices.

Temperature

Our temperature sample environments include closed cycle refrigerators, cryofurnaces, cryostates, furnaces, rapid thermal devices, temperature baths and low temperature inserts.
