OPAL Reactor Core

What is radiation?

Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.

The evolution of molten salt reactors

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.

Unsung Aussie Net Zero Hero

Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is well-known for facilitating incredible science and creating life-saving nuclear medicines, but for the last 40 years it’s been quietly producing a largely unsung net zero hero: Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) silicon.

Low Level Waste

Managing Radioactive Waste

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

Redefining measurements

ANSTO is part of collaboration conducting experiments to redefine the kilogram linking it to a fundamental constant of nature.
