The PNNL-led research partnership focused on the chemistry of nuclear waste also announced new leadership roles for representatives of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Colorado State University, and the University of Washington.
Morris Bullock has led PNNL's pursuit of the efficient conversion of electrical energy and chemical bonds through control of electron and proton transfers.
IDREAM researchers assess the potential of photon-in/photon-out XFEL techniques to explore early time reaction steps and ultimately improve nuclear waste processing strategies.
In adjoining Energy Sciences Center laboratories, researchers develop better energy storage devices by understanding the fundamental reactions that form interfaces.
Developed at PNNL, Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE™, uses significantly less energy and can deliver components like wire, tubes and bars 10 times faster than conventional extrusion, with no sacrifice in quality.
IDREAM wins Department of Energy art contest with entry that illuminates how IDREAM scientists pivoted during pandemic to accomplish critical nuclear research.
