Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, on the sunny side of Washington state, has more than 50 years of expertise in nuclear science. While our roots are in the adventurous Pacific Northwest, our research has a worldwide reach. Our scientists and engineers are conducting fundamental and applied research to unlock the mysteries of Earth’s climate, modernize the U.S. electric power grid, and safeguard ports around the world from nuclear smuggling.

We accept great challenges for one purpose: to create a world that is safer, cleaner, more prosperous, and more secure. Diversity is valued in our research missions as well as among our 4,700 staff, who make up a caring, determined, and tireless community.

Panelists will provide an overview of PNNL’s work in national security, energy resiliency, and environmental restoration – especially related to our nuclear R&D portfolio. Flash talks will focus on four fascinating projects: on-line monitoring, materials characterization, radiation detection, and solid phase processing.
