 | Wildfire Risk & Resilience: From early warning to long-term planning, PNNL transforms wildfire science into solutions that protect people, infrastructure, and the environment. |
 | Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: Research, development, and innovation to advance hydrogen and fuel cells at PNNL. |
 | Glass-Bonded Monazite Waste Forms for Lanthanide and Actinide Immobilization: From Theoretical Design to Scale-Up Production and Characterization: The study examines waste management in molten salt reactors, focusing on real-time processing to remove neutron poisons like xenon isotopes and rare earth elements. |
 | Wallula Basalt Project: Example of one of the geologic carbon storage projects at PNNL. |
 | Mechanisms Governing Noble Gas Adsorption in a Copper-Based Metal–Organic Framework: The study investigates the degradation mechanisms of a metal-organic framework under gamma irradiation, revealing that while the bulk framework remains stable up to a certain dose, the pore properties significantly change, affecting gas adsorption characteristics. |
 | Discovery Opens Doors for Cheaper and Quicker Battery Manufacturing: Researchers discovered a new way to more efficiently and affordably create nickel-rich battery materials. |
 | Wasteform Development Laboratory: This lab, also known as the glass lab, is used to investigate glass, glass-ceramic, grout, metal, and metal-ceramic wasteforms that will withstand corrosion over geologic time. This includes supporting the nation's nuclear waste vitrification efforts at Hanford site. |
 | Waste Processing: PNNL researchers are providing science and engineering expertise to understand the chemical and physical properties of tank waste. |
 | Micro-Structural Features and Material Properties Impact on Adhesive Metal Joints via Computational Modeling and Machine Learning: This study investigates the structural strength of adhesively bonded metal joints using modeling and machine learning. |
 | Pelletization with Spark Plasma Sintering and Characterization of Metal Iodides: An Assessment of Long-Term Radioiodine Immobilization Options: Four iodine getter materials (Ag, Cu, Bi, and Sn) were evaluated for their chemical durability in capturing radioiodine. |
 | Scientific Diving at PNNL-Sequim: Marine and coastal research capabilities at PNNL-Sequim include an experienced dive team comprising researchers with a breadth of scientific expertise. |
 | Computational Studies of Hydraulic Stressors for Biological Performance Assessment in a Hydropower Plant with Kaplan Turbine: The study uses computer simulations to model and analyze fluid movement to assess hydraulic stressors affecting fish who migrate through hydropower plants. |
 | Arctic PISCES: The Arctic Pacific Infrastructure for Sustaining Continuous Engineering and Science (PISCES) project aims to enhance observing and prediction science in Arctic coastal and inner-shelf regions, improving sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts of the ocean ice atmosphere system. |
