The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology
Organisation (ANSTO) is the centre of Australia's nuclear
science capabilities and expertise.
ANSTO produces radiopharmaceuticals to help in the diagnosis and
treatment of a range of serious illnesses. It also helps to
solve a wide range of industrial and environmental problems.
ANSTO's ability to deliver these solutions is made easier by its
international reputation for undertaking outstanding, innovative
scientific research including environmental work into climate
change, air pollution and groundwater ageing. The new OPAL
nuclear research reactor makes it possible for ANSTO to deliver
an extensive range of radioisotope products and industrial
services to Australian and overseas customers. OPAL also
produces neutron beams which are used in neutron scattering
science and applications include analysis at an atomic level of
structures, fluids, foods, as well as biological processes of
the human body. A further significant activity ANSTO undertakes
is providing strategic advice to government on a range of
important long-term issues, including climate change, power
generation and counter-terrorism.
