ANSTO began in 1949 as an industrial committee composed of scientific and Government representatives. The committee's aim was to examine possible industrial applications for nuclear technology and to suggest a national program for atomic research. In 1981 parts of the Commission were split off to join the CSIRO.
The remainder continued until 1987, when it was replaced by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). ANSTO's responsibilities are set out by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Act 1987. The Act stated categorically that 'the organisation shall not undertake research or development in the design or production of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices'.
