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

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is a major research facility for neutron science that comprises a suite of neutron instruments with a range of techniques for scientific investigations in physics, chemistry, materials science, medicine and environmental science among other fields.

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

Creating a safe, inclusive and respectful online community for all.

Quantum theory explains the strange and unpredictable behaviour of subatomic particles and the smallest amounts of energy.

The concrete plinth for the new SPATZ neutron reflectometer has been delivered.

The User Office is the first point of contact for all new and returning facility users accessing ANSTO’s wide range of world-class research infrastructure. These users may be internal ANSTO researchers, external merit researchers, commercial clients, scientific collaborators and partners.

A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.

Staff from ANSTO’s High Reliability team, Prashant Maharaj, Tina Paneras, and Sam Sonter were honoured to present at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Train-the-Trainers Regional Training Course for Radiation Protection Officers in Vienna, Austria on 16 to 20 January 2023.
