U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair Visits PNNL
NRC Chair Christopher Hanson tours the nondestructive examination laboratories and learns more about PNNL’s broad support to the NRC mission.
MAaD Science Seminar: Nanosized Hybrid Additives for Improved Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal Behavior of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites
The Materials Aging and Detection (MAaD) Science Seminar Series presents Dr. Ranji Vaidyanathan from Oklahoma State University.
Revealing Oxygen Mixing Mechanisms at Surfaces
Researchers are studying the chemical reactions that occur when oxygen mixes into the surface of oxide materials.
Solving an ergonomic problem to enable safeguards research
Performing nuclear safeguards work safely and developing the next generation workforce are complementary goals of a longstanding program sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.
Revealing the Distribution of Helium Cavities in a Toughened Tungsten Composite
Different sized helium cavities that form after ion irradiation are unevenly distributed in a ductile-phase toughened tungsten composite.
Isotope Program
The Isotope Program at PNNL supports scientific advances in the production and use of radioisotopes for research, medicine, and industrial applications.
Josef 'Pepa' Matyas elected Fellow of ACerS
Josef "Pepa" Matyas, a materials scientist in PNNL’s Nuclear Sciences Division, has been elected a fellow of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS). He will be recognized at the ACerS annual meeting on September 30, 2019, in Portland, Ore.
Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials
PNNL is the lead institution for Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM), an EFRC that seeks to master molecular-to-mesoscale chemical and physical phenomena at interfaces in complex environments.
Wasteform Development Laboratory
Researchers in this lab investigate glass, glass-ceramic, grout, metal, and metal-ceramic wasteforms that will withstand corrosion over geologic time. This includes supporting the nation's nuclear waste vitrification efforts at Hanford.
