Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Videos

ANSTO leverages great science to deliver big outcomes. We partner with scientists and engineers and apply new technologies to provide real-world benefits. Our work improves human health, saves lives, builds our industries and protects the environment.

At ANSTO, we understand that diverse teams produce better outcomes – and we value the merit that a diverse perspective can bring to the quality and outcomes of our work, and the way we get the job done.

ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities for research and industrial users by application

A look behind the scenes at Australia's landmark scientific infrastructure: the OPAL research reactor. It has been 10 years since the reactor went critical producing a self-sustaining supply of neutrons

ANSTO’s globally-connected Innovation Precinct at Lucas Heights is to become a vibrant and inclusive community for scientists, students, start-ups and industries.

ANSTO’s Dr Jessica Veliscek-Carolan’s is researching materials that can be used to treat nuclear waste. Jessica’s work aims to separate elements such as uranium from the waste for recycling or re-use. The remaining waste is then less radioactive, making it easier to handle and also reducing the amount of time the nuclear waste needs to be stored.

ANSTO’s Peter Kabakov is a research scientist working on a joint Government and Industry project to produce single crystal piezoelectrics for sonar applications, which are the next generation of underwater acoustic systems transducers. Transducers such as these are used as part of the communication, mapping and navigation systems of submarines.
