Radioactivity Measurement Standards

ANSTO maintains the Australian standard for the activity of radionuclides by authorisation of the Chief Metrologist of the National Measurement Institute under the National Measurement Act 1960.

Our scientists employ unique, highly specialised radiation detection techniques to carry out precise measurements of radioactivity without reference to a calibration.

As the standards body, ANSTO provides certificates demonstrating traceability to the Australian standard for the activity of radionuclides to our customers.
