Newly determined energy transfer mechanisms help identify how water releases from and damages irradiated interfaces.

Developing an understanding of how water breaks apart after radiation exposure.

Human-machine teaming may sound like something from the distant future. In “Human-Machine Teaming: A Vision of Future Law Enforcement” in Domestic Preparedness, Corey Fallon, Kris Cook, and Grant Tietje of PNNL examine this topic.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a patented, nearly non-destructive approach, known as liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry, to analyze nuclear samples.

Two PNNL interns are behind recent innovation in real-time testing and continuous monitoring for pH and the concentration of chemicals of interest in chemical solutions; outcomes have applicability not only to nuclear, but to industries.

PNNL paper in Nuclear Technology journal unveils modeling possibilities for TRISO used fuel, implications for reactor planning, and resulting carbon-free nuclear energy.

PNNL report reflects 10 years of dedication to effectively plan for the safe and uneventful removal of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants.

2021 marks the largest cohort of PNNL authors and co-authors to be recognized at annual Waste Management Symposia for environmental management research.

New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.

PNNL’s Robert Howard named national technical director of DOE Integrated Waste Management program, brings proficiency in technical integration.

When training for chemical and biological threats, in-person exercises and drills can be very limited due to the hazardous nature of the agent.

PNNL’s infrared pulsed heating technique reveals supercooled water’s weird behavior; opens door to other fluid studies at new Energy Sciences Center.

Analytical chemist shares passion for STEM, innovation and nuclear fuel

Spent nuclear fuel is being recycled to make new fuel through rapid separation and tight control of uranium and plutonium.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, PNNL pivoted to online learning approaches to conduct critical national security training across the globe.

A PNNL article on developments in ceramics and glass for sustainable energy also highlights research staff—and earns a journal cover.

Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.

A recent edition of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Group Journal featured an article written by PNNL researchers Rob Siefken and Jake Burns about “Design Basis Threat and the Low Threat Environment.”

As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.

PNNL’s Fred Morris was awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration Administrator Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Service Silver awards.
