AIP members toured ANSTO’s Low-Level Radiation labs in Sydney, where A/Prof Tony Hooker gave a presentation on low-dose radiation exposure.

Tony also talked about two of the quietest places on Earth: the 1 km deep Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) in Victoria, and Canada’s 2 km deep SNOLAB. These labs are so isolated that the smallest signals can be measured as scientists search for the secrets of dark matter, develop quantum technologies, and study life in extreme environments.
