ANSTO researchers are undertaking the fabrication and characterising advanced fuels and investigating the key properties of nuclear waste and its long-term interaction with containment materials to improve safety for short and long-term storage.

ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

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.

ANSTO Head of Research Dr Suzanne Hollins has been appointed to chair IAEA group on nuclear applications.

Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.

ANSTO is working with BAE Systems Maritime Australia, and the University of Wollongong under the auspices of the DMTC Ltd. on the development of multiphysics numerical simulations capable of capturing thermo-physical, thermo-metallurgical and thermo-mechanical processes taking place during welding.

ANSTO works in partnerships and collaborative ventures with national and international organisations. Partner with ANSTO.

Unique landmark instrumentation and expertise are a hallmark of ANSTO’s sovereign capability, unavailable anywhere else in Australia.  Our ability to identify the source of hazardous particulates in air, the age of water in aquifers and the detailed chemistry of toxic elements in complex soil and biota specimens are just some examples of ANSTO capability.

Since the discovery of superconducting Caintercalated graphite (CaC6) the intercalation of epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) with Ca has been studied extensively in order to achieve superconductivity.

La Trobe University researchers have used the Australian Synchrotron in a new study that reveals how crocodiles resist fatal fungal infections with a unique pH sensing mechanism despite living in filthy water.

ANSTO has recently participated in a regional program in Bangkok, Thailand, on food safety, security, and productivity using nuclear science and technology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
