PNNL and Argonne researchers developed and tested a chemical process that successfully captures radioactive byproducts from used nuclear fuel so they could be sent to advanced reactors for destruction while also producing electrical power.
A PNNL technology enables automated Economic Dispatch, which coordinates the use of energy in a manner that enhances distributed generation, efficiency, renewables, and grid reliability.
Steve Short, a nuclear engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been selected as a fellow of the National Society of Professional Engineers.
