Specialist expertise and capabilities at ANSTO enable an understanding and improvement of current and advanced nuclear fuel materials
With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.
OPAL 2024 Shutdown
ANSTO's OPAL reactor is one of the world's most advanced and reliable research reactors today. To ensure we can continue operating OPAL safely and reliably and maximise utilisation, ANSTO must regularly carry out maintenance and upgrades.
Little forest legacy site
ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.

Making science accessible to everyone: new initiative for the Deaf community
ANSTO was proud to support the first science-themed AuslanX event for the greater Sydney Deaf community during National Science Week.
ANSTO and University of Wollongong collaborate on new quality control device to enhance precision in advanced cancer treatment
Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers.
Karen is currently in their final year of university at UTS studying a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) and a Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice.

Helping to support the environmental future of Antarctica
The start of ANSTO’s research to support the Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) program commenced with the official launch of the program and the departure of two students from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who are affiliated with ANSTO to Antarctica’s Macquarie Island for six months to collect environmental samples as part of the (SAEF) program.
A closer look at the scientific power of nuclear and accelerator techniques
In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.
