Description

The main mandate of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is to provide benefits of nuclear science and technology to a variety of applications in agriculture, medicine and industry. It is expected that HIFAR reactor, which will complete 47 years of operation, will be replaced by a new multipurpose reactor in 2005. ANSTO also has a strong programme on accelerators for producing medical radioisotopes and for physics research. In the area of environment, ANSTO's programme includes isotope studies related to global climate change, pollution monitoring, and coastal and marine chemistry. ANSTO would continue to work for the improvement of the quality of life of all Australians. (author)
