Nuclear Equations Workbook

This workbook gives expanded examples and explanations of the production and decay of radioisotopes, with relevant nuclear equations

Pre-2018 Year 12 Chemistry workbook

This workbook was designed for the old pre-2018 Year 12 Chemistry NSW syllabus, 9.2 Production of Materials

Periodic Table of the Elements

This illustrated periodic table explores key information about the chemical elements. 

The small poster is also compatible with the ANSTO XR app on iOS and Google play. Alternatively, downloaded posters can be printed landscape on an A3 sheet and hung on a wall to maximise usability.

Chart of radionuclides

This poster explores information about radioactive decay, fission vs fusion, applications of nuclear science and displays the chart of radionuclides.

Electromagnetic spectrum

This poster shows how ANSTO utilises different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for environmental and medical research.

Antarctic greenhouse gas data

This poster shows greenhouse emissions measured in Antarctic ice cores and the Cape Grim monitoring station until 2017.

Cloud Chamber Experiment Guide

This guide gives instructions for building a cloud chamber to visualise natural background radiation, and includes student discussion questions

Molybdenum Supply Chain Diagram

This annotated flow diagram explains the production of Molybdenum-99 at ANSTO and its delivery to patients as Technetium-99m

Nuclear science in your life

This poster explores information about the applications of nuclear science in your life.

Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle

Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years. 

This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.
