PNNL researchers are advancing AI-assisted nuclear fuel recycling to tap more than 90% of the energy potential left in used fuel, reduce waste and support secure, cost-effective next-generation reactors.

Stephen Hernandez and Kaley Walker are among the 72 fellows who have the distinction of being part of the 30th class of the NNSA Graduate Fellowship Program.

The PNNL-developed UF6 Gas Enrichment Sensor (UGES) prototype is the next generation of a previous enrichment monitoring device—namely the Online Enrichment Monitor. UGES will increase the accuracy of uranium measurements.

Through an unprecedented collaboration with Idaho, Savannah River, and Argonne national laboratories, the Athena Project has built a network of nearly 150 scientists.

On June 4, PNNL welcomed the NGFP Class of 2025–2026, the 30th cohort of the program. PNNL has administered NGFP on behalf of NNSA since 2002.

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.

Harilal, a physicist at PNNL and a Jedi in laser-produced plasma applications, has been named a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Class of 2025 fellows.

PNNL welcomed United Kingdom researcher for a six-week hands-on research exchange to develop nuclear forensic techniques.
