Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a patented, nearly non-destructive approach, known as liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry, to analyze nuclear samples.
With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.
Two PNNL interns are behind recent innovation in real-time testing and continuous monitoring for pH and the concentration of chemicals of interest in chemical solutions; outcomes have applicability not only to nuclear, but to industries.
Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.
PNNL paper in Nuclear Technology journal unveils modeling possibilities for TRISO used fuel, implications for reactor planning, and resulting carbon-free nuclear energy.
2021 marks the largest cohort of PNNL authors and co-authors to be recognized at annual Waste Management Symposia for environmental management research.
New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.
Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.
PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.
PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.
PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.
