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.
ANSTO shared expertise on next-generation reactors and nuclear power with sustainable energy experts at the Australian Academy of Science symposium in May.
It's ANSTO's role to keep Australia across the very latest developments in nuclear science and technology from around the world. Part of this responsibility is keeping us abreast of the latest developments in nuclear power technologies.
A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.
Australian scientists from ANTSO have congratulated their British colleagues for a major advance in their quest to develop practical nuclear fusion.
In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.
ANSTO hosted an international meeting of Expert and Policy group members for Generation IV Forum (GIF).
Aussie development offering significant benefits to the energy industry.
ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.
Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.
Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life
Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.
With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.
Australia is as a member of the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), a cooperative international endeavour, involving the participation of 12 other nations and the European Union to work together on long term research on advanced nuclear technologies.
ANSTO has made two public submissions to parliamentary inquiries with another to be submitted in February 2020 on matters relating to nuclear technologies, their peaceful applications, and the nuclear fuel cycle.
