The Centre for Accelerator Science reflects the importance of ANSTO to the national and international medical, scientific and general community. The CAS provides ANSTO with world-leading capabilities in accelerator science. The building accommodates two accelerators and includes laboratory facilities for preparation of samples prior to applying high sensitivity accelerator based analysis techniques. Ultra-clean laboratory conditions are required to ensure integrity of the analysis results

The facility includes the accelerator halls, associated instrument development and maintenance laboratories, new sample preparation laboratories, office space and visitor display areas.
