dc.description.abstractThe Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is the centre of Australia’s nuclear science capabilities and expertise, operating in Sydney the nation’s only nuclear reactor, OPAL, and in Melbourne the Australian Synchrotron. In order to successfully run the landmark infrastructure at ANSTO we need suitably qualified and experienced workers who understand and embrace radiation safety culture. This is achieved, in part, through in-house development and regular delivery of applied training so that knowledge, skills and experience in radiation safety is fostered and sustained. ANSTO has been recognised as setting the benchmark for radiation safety training in Australia and also offers radiation safety training to external clients in mining, health care, government, education, universities and research industries. To maintain and enhance our social licence to operate our nuclear and radiological facilities, and to demonstrate leadership in the education of Australia’s next generation, ANSTO communicates to a wide range of different stakeholders, including community groups, pupils, university students, teachers, regulatory officers, industry and government representatives, and international partners. This is done using various methods, such as tours of landmark infrastructure, teacher professional development, school workshops, online resources, and interactive community events. This poster describes the methods employed, and highlights some of the activities and outcomes of this applied training and outreach.en_AU
