Abstract
The ANTARES accelerator mass spectrometry facility at Lucas Heights Re search Laboratory is operational and AMS measurements of C-14, Al-26 a nd Cl-36 are being carried out routinely. Measurement of I-129 recentl y commenced and capabilities for other long-lived radioisotopes such a s Be-10 are being established. The overall aim of the facility is to d evelop advanced programs in Quaternary science, global climate change, biomedicine and nuclear safeguards.
