INFO:

PNNL draws on a decade of innovation and experience in the nuclear fuel cycle. Scientists and engineers develop and evaluate new safer and economically improved fuels; improve methods for fuel fabrication; and evaluate alternative means of recycling, storing, and transporting spent nuclear fuel. Much of this work is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in partnership with the nuclear industry and other national laboratories.
