ANSTO warmly welcomed a delegation from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) at our Lucas Heights campus last week, led by the NNSA’s Acting Principal Deputy Administrator, Corey Hinderstein. The special tour follows the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between ANSTO and the NNSA during the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) International Conference on Nuclear Security in Vienna. The visit to ANSTO formed part of a multi-week itinerary coordinated by the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office and provided the opportunity to discuss collaboration activities and opportunities for Australia and the United States on matters of nuclear forensics and security. ANSTO was proud to share a technical demonstration of its radiation detection and imaging technology, CORIS360®, as pictured below.

Nuclear science and technology for the benefit of all Australians.
About us
ANSTO is one of Australia’s largest public research organisations and custodian of much of our country’s important science infrastructure, including the OPAL nuclear research reactor, the Australian Synchrotron, accelerators, cyclotrons and neutron beam instruments. More than 1000 scientists, engineers and experts work at ANSTO to answer the significant environmental, medical and industrial questions using nuclear techniques. ANSTO’s international collaborations, including partnerships with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Shanghai Institute for Applied Physics, ensure Australian scientists are connected to a global network of experts and research projects. As part of enabling a strong national collaborative network, ANSTO is connected with all Australian and New Zealand universities through the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE), providing researchers access to Australia’s nuclear science, technology and engineering expertise and landmark infrastructure. On average, ANSTO accommodates over 1800 visiting researchers from other Australian and international research organisations each year.

Australia’s OPAL multi-purpose reactor was shutdown during the year while undergoing essential maintenance and major upgrades. But now it’s back in operation. After years of meticulous planning, our team has successfully replaced a major component that is essential for research and updated the safety systems. From start to finish, this highly complex project required precision, expertise, and teamwork. OPAL has resumed empowering Australian research, producing nuclear medicines and irradiating materials, such as silicon.

One of the most challenging aspects of working in an environment where radiation may be present is that you cannot see or sense it. Fortunately, the innovative functionality of the CORIS360® technology is helping to make the invisible, visible. We’re proud to be offering this advanced technology platform to customers around the world.
Our commercial team continues to grow! Welcome Paddy Hore (right) our new international sales manager. Peter Hedges has also joined us, focusing on international strategic and distribution partnerships. We now have units operating in the Americas, Europe, UK and Australia. For an online demonstration of CORIS360® radiation detection and imaging capabilities, please contact us. CORIS360® is designed and manufactured by ANSTO. #radiationsafety #radiationdetection #ANSTOInnovation

🚀 Did you know that tiny transistors—MOSFETs—almost jeopardised a NASA mission? These small but mighty components are vulnerable to the extreme radiation in space, especially around Jupiter! But MOSFETs aren’t just for space. 🌍🔬 Researchers at ANSTO and University of Wollongong are using them to monitor radiation for life-saving treatments like Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) for cancer. 🌌 Meanwhile, NASA’s engineers had to “heal” the MOSFETs to make sure the Europa Clipper survives Jupiter’s intense radiation. 💡 One technology, two incredible uses—exploring the cosmos and advancing cancer therapy. That’s the power of science! 🙌 🔗 Link in bio to learn more - https://bit.ly/3YjAgTS #ScienceAndInnovation #RadiationDetection #SpaceExploration #HealthcareTechnology #ANSTO #LinkedInScience #MissionDrivenResearch
