Come behind the scenes at ANSTO and see how nuclear-based science is helping to deliver benefits to all Australians

ANSTO is pleased to invite you to attend this special tour as a part of the 2018 ASC conference – places are limited so please register early

The ANSTO Lucas Heights campus employs over 500 scientists, engineers and technicians, answering significant questions relating to human health, the environment, nuclear fuel cycle and industry utilising nuclear techniques.

The tour will include a visit to some of Australia’s most critical scientific and medical infrastructure including the:

• Open Pool Australian Light-water (OPAL) multi-purpose reactor, globally regarded as the most efficient reactor in the world;
• Centre for Neutron Scattering, a suite of world-leading scientific instruments
• Centre for Accelerator Science, one of the southern hemisphere’s largest environment research centres.
• New Mo-99 Production Facility, which is dramatically increasing ANSTO’s production capacity of the most important nuclear medicine.

Along the way, we will share insights into the challenges and learnings of communicating the benefits of the misunderstood world of nuclear.
