For the second year running, Australia has been ranked first in the Nuclear Threat Initiative’s assessment of nuclear security in countries with significant holdings of nuclear material. ANSTO located in south west Sydney, is the home of much of Australia’s nuclear expertise and its only nuclear reactor.
Australia's recognition in the global index that covers over 170 countries including the United Kingdom, United States and Japan is testament to ANSTO’s work to ensure the security and safety of its operations.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop has welcomed Australia’s top ranking. Read the media release.
