Booth #16 | Phoenix, AZ

Nuclear research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) crosses multiple mission areas, including nuclear energy, national security, and fundamental sciences. At the 2022 American Nuclear Society (ANS) Winter Meeting and Technology Expo and the embedded International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference, hear the latest findings from our experts—including research to resolve the “back end” of the fuel cycle, such as disposal, storage, transportation, and consent-based siting. Visit Booth #16 to learn about PNNL’s current job opportunities, specialized nuclear research facilities, depth of capabilities, and multidisciplinary approach to providing science-based solutions for these complex challenges.
