CORE SAMPLING

New technology to minimise mining footprint

The team at ANSTO, Australia’s knowledge centre for nuclear science and engineering have developed a new, cutting edge technology that may provide new insights into climate change and minimise the effects of mining by making it more efficient.

 Using ‘Dingo’, one of the highest intensity neutron imaging machines in the world, ANSTO scientists have figured out how to greatly reduce the time needed to measure the exact mineral content of core samples
