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.
Researchers characterize the degradation products of a protein responsible for generating enamel, opening potential avenues to regeneration strategies.
PNNL scientists have captured the most information about proteins from a single human cell, giving scientists one of their clearest looks yet at the molecular happenings inside a human cell.
For the first time, researchers have created a gram of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using modified acrylic fibers to extract it from seawater.
Vitrifying nuclear waste for storage is complicated by aluminum and understanding this behavior is vital. Research suggests that upon radiolysis, the properties of humid aluminum particles do not change substantially but hydrogen is formed.
