Waste Management Symposia 2023
PNNL researchers discuss environmental remediation, radioactive waste processing, and spent nuclear fuel management at WM2023. Booth 1110 visitors can experience an "augmented reality" demonstration to inspect a waste tank for cracks.
PNNL at the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting 2022
PNNL experts at the ANS Winter Meeting and the embedded International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference will share fuel cycle research including disposal, storage, transportation, and consent-based siting.
Canister Delivery to Strengthen Nuclear Storage Research
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 More Painless Extraction
PNNL and Argonne researchers developed and tested a chemical process that successfully captures radioactive byproducts from used nuclear fuel so they could be sent to advanced reactors for destruction while also producing electrical power.
