Peak Resources commissions ANSTO Minerals to operate Ngualla Rare Earths Pilot Plant
As a result of the successful optimisation testwork, Peak Resources has commissioned ANSTO Minerals to operate the pilot plant to validate the optimised “Alkali Roast” process flowsheet that has been selected by Peak for the Bankable Feasibility Study. The study is expected to be completed by early 2017.
A look back at the monumental achievement of constructing the OPAL reactor
INVAP, the Argentinian advanced nuclear technology company, who designed and constructed the Open Pool Lightwater Reactor (OPAL) for ANSTO to replace the HIFAR reactor is celebrating 50 years of operations with the visit of a group of INVAP executives to ANSTO to celebrate their achievements and discuss future collaborations.
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.
Advanced synchrotron imaging supports Australian dinosaur research discovery
Groundbreaking research published today in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology by the Museums Victoria Research Institute and Monash University unveiled a landmark discovery – fossils of the world’s oldest known megaraptorid and the first evidence of carcharodontosaurs in Australia.
Graduate Program
ANSTO's Graduate Program develops the next generation of Australian business and science leaders, by providing the best and brightest postgraduate students with a two-year rotation cycle, tailored to match your talents, goals and interests.
Plans to safely manage medical and research waste
ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
