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.

Low-activity waste from Hanford tank vitrified for first time in a continuous process at PNNL.

Grid modernization, improved energy storage goals of agreement between PNNL and East Coast energy company.

PNNL and WSU team on research to handle waste streams from biofuel production.

PNNL will lead two new projects to advance resilient distribution systems and partner on three additional demonstrations aimed at validating new approaches and technologies to make the aging grid more resilient and secure.
