Role at ANSTO
Environmental Performance
In accordance with section 516A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), ANSTO is required to provide an annual report that outlines ANSTO’s environmental performance over the period and how ANSTO accords with the principles of ecologically sustainable development.
Role at ANSTO
Accelerator Operator.

Groundwater science
Water is a resource that needs careful management to ensure it is used sustainably. In this data set, students analyse real research data about the sustainability of groundwater on Rottnest Island.
Students will:
- understand the concepts of groundwater and aquifers and the role of the water cycle
- use MS Excel to construct simple graphs (or draw graphs by hand)
- interpret and analyse graphs and other representations of data
- investigate the effects of a changing climate on groundwater resources
- distinguish between correlation and causation
Accelerate your battery development
We understand that electrochemistry, electrode design and failure modes of your battery system are going to determine your design and research decisions.
How processable is your entire ore body?
You may be confident about the major crystallographic phases of your ore body – but what about those minor phases that can affect processing or cause long-term problems with remediation?
Chronic kidney disease of unknown origin
In 2017, ANSTO's CEO signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sri Lanka to work together to investigate the epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu).
Water Isotope Network
Currently ANSTO partners with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to operate the Australian GNIP stations with samples analysed at ANSTO’s Environmental Isotope Laboratories in Sydney.
Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)
The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.
Role at ANSTO
Tony is jointly responsible for the day to day maintenance, running and ongoing development of the STAR and ANTARES accelerators.
