The Hanford Site is now immobilizing radioactive waste in glass: a process known as vitrification. PNNL contributed 60 years of materials science expertise—and is providing operational support—to help the nation meet this cleanup milestone.
Peter Heine, senior advisor in the Strategic Threat Analysis group at PNNL, recently travelled to Brussels, Belgium, to support the World Customs Organization's Operation Stingray.
A team of researchers at PNNL has received the 2025 National Nuclear Security Administration CIO Award for developing an innovative solution to enhance secure communications.
PNNL researchers continue to deliver high-quality, high-impact research on radioactive waste and nuclear materials management, earning “Papers of Note” and “Superior Paper” awards.
Engineers at PNNL devised a system that allows radar antennae to maintain stable orientation while mounted on platforms in open water that pitch and roll unpredictably. They were recently invited to participate in DOE's I-Corps program.
For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.
