ANSTO is a highly regulated organisation. Our governance system and processes provide critical guidance to effectively manage ANSTO’s activities. This section outlines the processes and systems that are in place to provide assurance to Government, our stakeholders and the community that we are working within our regulated and mandated requirements.

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

Archive of ANSTO research publications, seminars and short talks.

An international team led by scientists at City University of Hong Kong has found flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) with one-dimensional channels that acts as a “molecular trapdoor” to selectively adsorb gases, such as carbon dioxide, in response to temperature and pressure changes.

ANSTO is working with BAE Systems Maritime Australia, and the University of Wollongong under the auspices of the DMTC Ltd. on the development of multiphysics numerical simulations capable of capturing thermo-physical, thermo-metallurgical and thermo-mechanical processes taking place during welding.

Hosts workshop on nuclear forensics for IAEA members.

With more than 50 years of experience in monitoring natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in the environment, ANSTO can provide the crucial data and insights you need to assist with the planning and risk management associated with oil and gas decommissioning.

Connect with the businesses and organisations driving advanced manufacturing and supporting green technologies.

CAS delivers ultra-sensitive analysis and precision irradiation within an end-to-end user experience framework, supporting the research journey from initial idea through to impact and training the next generation of scientists and innovators.

ANSTO has hosted its second IAEA Practical Introduction to Nuclear Forensics Regional Training Course for representatives of member countries from South-East Asia, sharing expertise on the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear forensics to respond to incidents of nuclear or other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth.

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

Chemical deuteration involves deuterating whole molecules or building blocks for the synthesis of a desired molecule by exposing them to heavy water (deuterium oxide) at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst. If required, compounds can then be synthesised from the deuterated building blocks using organic chemistry techniques.

ANSTO provides nuclear forensic analysis and advice in support of law enforcement and training to domestic and international partners

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.
