ANSTO Publications Online

Welcome to the ANSTO Institutional Repository known as APO.

The APO database has been migrated to version 8.3. The functionality has changed, but the content remains the same.

ANSTO Publications Online is a digital repository for publications authored by ANSTO staff since 2007. The Repository also contains ANSTO Publications, such as Reports and Promotional Material. ANSTO publications prior to 2007 continue to be added progressively as they are in identified in the library. ANSTO authors can be identified under a single point of entry within the database. The citation is as it appears on the item, even with incorrect spelling, which is marked by (sic) or with additional notes in the description field.

If items are only held in hardcopy in the ANSTO Library collection notes are being added to the item to identify the Dewey Call number: as DDC followed by the number.

APO will be integrated with the Research Information System which is currently being implemented at ANSTO. The flow on effect will be permission to publish, which should allow pre-prints and post prints to be added where content is locked behind a paywall. To determine which version can be added to APO authors should check Sherpa Romeo. ANSTO research is increasingly being published in open access due mainly to the Council of Australian University Librarians read and publish agreements, and some direct publisher agreements with our organisation. In addition, open access items are also facilitated through collaboration and open access agreements with overseas authors such as Plan S.

ANSTO authors are encouraged to use a CC-BY licence when publishing open access. Statistics have been returned to the database and are now visible to users to show item usage and where this usage is coming from.

    The importance of HIFAR to nuclear medicine
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 1997-10-16) Wood, NR
    Since its official opening on 26 January 1960, the HIFAR research reactor operated by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) at Lucas Heights near Sydney has been used to support an expanding nuclear medicine market. HIFAR has characteristics which make it very suitable for this role and the effect has been to make ANSTO the dominant supplier of reactor-based radiopharmaceuticals in Australia and a significant exporter. While HIFAR has capacity to support limited increased production, its future requires government decisions. The author concluded that the absence of an operational research reactor in Australia and the lack of another local source of neutrons could directly affect the practice of nuclear medicine in the country and the level of presently increasing exports.

    Water resources and water pollution studies
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 2001-10-24) Airey, PL
    Nuclear techniques are widely used in the investigation of the dynamics of the water cycle. This paper focusses on their contributions to the development of strategies for the sustainability of environmental resources. Emphasis has been placed on the role of environmental isotopes and radiotracers in evaluating models of complex environmental systems. Specific reference is made to 1) the construction of a marine radioactivity database for Asia and the Pacific, 2) the sustainability of groundwater in regions challenged by climate change, and 3) the applications of radiotracers to off-shore transport of sediments and contaminants.

    Experiences with HIFAR as a mult-purpose research reactor over the last five years
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 1995-10-30) Malosh, G; Godfrey, RM
    Operation of the I-LFAR reactor over the past five years has been characterised by significant change in several key areas. include: evolving and much more demanding review and regulatory processes; plant refurbishment and modification driven either by reactor and personnel safety issues, the age of the plant, regulatory requirements, or user needs; an upgrade of all of the documentation pertinent to the reactor's operation; development of an accredited quality system; and a significant increase in research and commercial activity. Finally, the period, being witness to a series of reviews of the reactor's future, provided a base of opinion and information to facilitate Government decisions on an ongoing research reactor capability for Australia.

    Nuclear techniques for on-line measurement in the control of mineral processing
    (International Atomic Energy Agency, 1977-03-16) Watt, JS
    A review is made of applications and developments of continuous on-line measurement by nuclear techniques in mineral processing. Mineral processing operations can be controlled more economically if information on process variables is obtained continuously, and much of this information can be provided by nuclear techniques. Nucleonic gauges are widely used for determining density and mass flow of mineral slurries, mass flow of ore on conveyors, and level of ore in bins. Techniques have been developed to determine particle size of ground ore in slurries but their application is at present limited. Techniques and equipment for on-stream analysis of mineral slurries have developed rapidly in the 1970s, and the simpler systems have been proved in routine use in mineral concentrators. Techniques for on-line analysis of ore and ore products on conveyors, except those for moisture content, are in the developmental stage, most progress being made for iron ore.
