Australia’s new Mo-99 manufacturing facility reaches practical completion

Developed by ANSTO’s predecessor the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (known as the AAEC) in the late 1960s, the Technetium-99m Generator revolutionised nuclear medicine imaging in Australia by enabling imaging procedures to be performed not only in major capital cities but throughout regional and rural Australia.

Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

Radioactive phosphorous for implantable medical device to treat pancreatic cancer in global clinical trial

A collaboration of scientists from RMIT, ANSTO and the CSIRO has published pioneering research that brings new insights into intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions (IDPs)/ (IDRs) and how they behave under various physiological processes.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

In partnership with the Australian Museum as part of National Science Week explore the 2020 hackathon theme of Deep Blue: Innovation for the future of our oceans

ANSTO operates Work Health and Safety and Environmental Management Systems designed to ensure the safety of its employees, partners and members of the public to minimise the impact of our activities on the environment.

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought  greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine recognises Nigel Lengkeek

Nuclear power is used as a reliable and clean energy solution in most OECD countries and many other parts of the world. Although it is banned in Australia, a number of government reviews are looking at current prohibitions on nuclear power.

A lesson in Science and Sustainability.

Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life

The work of the group comprises Radioactivity Measurement Standards, Radioanalytical chemistry, Environmental Radioactivity Measurement Centre, Nuclear security science and Environmental monitoring.

Following a decade of imaging to support research and clinical trials at ANSTO and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre at Camperdown, two PET scanners have been transferred to the University of Wollongong.

It’s been one year since nandin opened its doors. Let's take a look back at what we've achieved so far before setting our sights on the future.

ANSTO is proud to host the Shorebirds Competition for the fourth year. This unique environmental poster competition is free to enter and offers over $4000 in prizes (insert link to prizes button) for students and schools!
