Radiological Chemical and Materials Research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a multi-program Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory, and nuclear research is one of the core components of its mission. The centerpiece of PNNL's nuclear research is the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (RPL), a Category 2 nuclear facility with state-of-the-art instrumentation, scientific expertise, and specialized capabilities that enable research with significant quantities of fissionable materials and other radionuclides-from tritium to plutonium.
