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.
