- Environment
Commercial rates
The prices below are for the neutron beam time alone, and do not include the costs of data analysis, report writing or the preparation of any extra equipment for the experiment. These will be calculated on a case-by-case basis. Expert customers who can do all of the above themselves, with minimal support from ANSTO, can expect to pay the prices given below. All prices are inclusive of GST.
