The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and PNNL partnered to complete—in record time—an environmental impact statement for the nation’s first small modular nuclear reactor, to be sited at Clinch River, Tenn.

Frannie Smith, a chemist specializing in nuclear waste management and disposal, was recognized as a "Notable Woman in STEM" for 2019 by the nonprofit Washington STEM program.

The feature article shines a spotlight on the Energy Frontier Research Center led by PNNL.

Installing new access holes (up to 6 feet in diameter) could reduce the overall time and cost to retrieve waste from Hanford's underground storage tanks, according to a structural analysis of the tank domes by PNNL and Becht Engineering.

Researchers at PNNL are developing a new class of acoustically active nanomaterials designed to improve the high-resolution tracking of exploratory fluids injected into the subsurface. These could improve subsurface geophysical monitoring.

"It's sort of like using infrared goggles to see heat signatures in the dark, except this is underground." PNNL and CHPRC implemented a state-of-the-art approach to monitor the process of remediating residual uranium at Hanford's 300 Area.

An International Atomic Energy Agency effort, chaired by PNNL's Mike Truex, will help inform the process for achieving successful end states at contaminated sites worldwide.

Study shows that emissions from trans-Arctic shipping could increase clouds, cooling the atmosphere and surface.

Aluminum oxyhydroxide (boehmite) nanoplatelets align and attach to form neatly ordered stacks, a novel findings that involves both experimental and computational research.

IDREAM researchers computed the first detailed free-energy landscape for the multistep dissolution of gibbsite

As countries revised previously reported statistics, coal data showed larger adjustments than oil and natural gas.

Steven Ghan, a climate researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for more than 25 years, has been elected to the newest class of Fellows of the American Geophysical Union. His efforts transformed the ability for models to simulat

Case studies in six cities of barriers to implementing building energy codes.

A unique strategy sharpens understanding of the behavior and physics within the model’s atmospheric component.

Understanding the functional traits of Arctic and alpine tundra plant communities will enable better model projections of how they transform in warmer conditions.

Burrows was recognized for her leadership in advancing understanding connections between biological systems on land and ocean and their chemistry, and physical climate processes in the atmosphere.

Researchers found sea surface temperature accounts for only 20 percent of extreme precipitation variability along the U.S. West Coast.

Water management activities could reduce both the duration and intensity of agricultural droughts by a factor of about ten in most regions, while they may increase those of hydrological droughts by up to 50 percent.
