ANSTO: Making Nuclear Energy Work for Australia

Two Locations, One Mission

WEB ANSTO, Australia's premier nuclear science and technology organization, is headquartered at two state-of-the-art campuses: Lucas Heights in Sydney and Clayton in Melbourne. These facilities serve as hubs of innovation and research, where scientists and engineers work tirelessly to harness the power of nuclear energy for the benefit of the nation.

Lucas Heights: A Gateway to Nuclear Excellence

Located just 40km southwest of Sydney's CBD, the Lucas Heights campus is a sprawling center of nuclear research and development. It boasts advanced facilities, including the National Deuteration Facility, enabling scientists to study the structure and behavior of materials at the atomic level. With convenient access by car and ample free parking, the campus welcomes visitors to explore its cutting-edge laboratories and learn about the transformative work being done within.

Clayton: A Hub of Nuclear Medicine Advancements

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne's scientific precinct, the Clayton campus is a specialized facility dedicated to nuclear medicine. Here, researchers develop innovative techniques for diagnosing and treating a wide range of diseases, including cancer. The campus also houses the Australian Synchrotron, a groundbreaking facility that generates intense X-rays to reveal the intricate details of materials, providing valuable insights into their properties and applications.
