By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.

Summer is for science! PNNL’s interns are diving into science and technology and getting a front-row view of the research and development of a national laboratory.

PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

Twenty years after the first radiation portal monitor was installed, PNNL continues supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to detect and prevent terrorist weapons from crossing our borders.

Science and engineering solutions helping keep America safe from explosive, radiological, biological and cyber threats.

Researchers delivering new solutions to speed development and deployment of advanced reactor concepts.

PNNL’s expertise is the foundation for monitoring technology that identifies trace amounts of radioactive materials and determines whether they are indicative of a nuclear explosion.

Peering through the thick, green glass of a decades-old "hot cell," an expert technician manipulates robotic arms to study highly radioactive waste from Hanford, in support of ongoing cleanup.

Just reading the headlines makes it clear that these are anxious times.

Nuclear power figures prominently in our country's energy portfolio and is essential to our economic and environmental security.

Cybersecurity is increasingly top-of-mind and in the news. Individuals worry about identify theft and the compromise of financial and medical records. And the federal government battles myriad threats aimed at our national security.

School's out, which means a new group of interns is settling into summer research assignments with mentors at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland.
