    Bragg institute: international leader in neutron beam and x-ray science
    (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, 2005-11) Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
    Australia’s new world-class research reactor, OPAL, provides a unique opportunity for the nation’s scientists to expand their horizons. OPAL will enhance the nuclear capabilities of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), enabling us to increase the support we provide for Australia’s health, environmental and industrial research, as well as the country’s strategic objectives. Since 1958, ANSTO and its forebears have enabled Australian researchers and their counterparts from around the world to use the unique insights afforded by neutron beam science to increase fundamental scientific knowledge and assist numerous industries. The establishment of the Bragg Institute in 2002 was an essential step towards making such insights more readily available to an increasingly broad range of researchers and industries within Australia and the Asia- Pacific region. We see the opportunity for major growth in areas such as advanced materials, biosciences, the earth sciences and engineering.

    Celebrating 50 years of applying nuclear science to daily life
    (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, 2003) Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
    Welcome to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) 2003 Royal Easter Show display. This year we have chosen a 1950s theme in order to celebrate the anniversary of fifty years of successful nuclear research and development in Australia. On 15 April 1953, The Atomic Energy Act was passed by Parliament. This allowed a program of scientific research and development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes to occur in Australia. Fifty years on, many people remain unaware of the widespread uses and benefits of nuclear based products in our daily lives.

    Fifty years
    (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, 2003) Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
    2003 is a significant milestone for ANSTO and the Australian research and development community, as it is the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Atomic Energy Act, 1953. One of the activities ANSTO has undertaken this year is to produce its 50th Anniversary Booklet, which celebrates its past, present and future. Since its inception, ANSTO’s work has gone through a tremendous evolution. The one constant, however, has been its commitment to maximising the benefits from its facilities and know how for Australia’s and the world’s sustainability, health and economic development. ANSTO is a crucial part of Australia’s science and innovation infrastructure, as its facilities provide essential capabilities to industry, research and development bodies and a range of educational institutions. ANSTO’s research focus and collaborative relationships – with educational bodies and other publicly-funded research organisations – will continue to identify ways in which the lives of all Australians can be enhanced. The recent launch of the Bragg Institute was another great milestone for ANSTO. A tribute to the father and son team of William and Lawrence Bragg, the Institute is at the forefront of research and development in neutron scattering and the use of x-rays. The replacement research reactor, a state-of-the-art facility, will keep Australia virtually self-sufficient in nuclear medicines and enable the development of new therapeutic and diagnostic substances. It will also allow ANSTO to expand its commercial capability and further contribute to the economic development of Australia in areas such as biotechnology, sustainability, engineering, materials, nanoscience and environmental science, as well as contributing to history and archaeology. An objective of ANSTO is to turn good science into good business for its clients, global partners and stakeholders. With this in mind, processes have been put in place to fast track some commercial ventures. Given the enthusiastic workforce and the investment in facilities, ANSTO will underpin socioeconomic development in Australia for many years to come.

    Fine particulate air sampling and analysis service.
    (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, 2009) Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
    The effect of fine dust particles in the atmosphere on the health of the population and the environment is of increasing concern to industry and government. Coarse particles whilst easily seen are a lesser health risk because they settle out close to their source and if breathed in do not penetrate deeply into the lungs as fine particles.

    First ten years: 1953-1963
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1963-04) Baxter, P
    On April 15, 1953, the Royal assent was given to the Atomic Energy Act 1953. On January 6, 1963, the contract for the sale of uranium oxide from Rum Jungle to the Combined Development Agency had run its ten-year course. This, therefore, is an appropriate moment to cast a backward look at the origin of the Commission and the first decade of its activity.
