Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
Also Known As: Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Battelle (PNL)
State: Washington
Location: Richland
Time Period: 2005-present
Facility Type: Department of Energy
Facility Description: Although Hanford laboratory functions were given to an organization known as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 1965 when Battelle won the contract to perform research and development for the Hanford Site, PNNL did not have a physical plant separate from the Hanford site until 2005 (see the site description for Hanford for this work prior to 2005). The Laboratory’s first projects were based on the needs of the Hanford Site and included protecting the environment, fabricating reactor fuel, and designing reactors. These projects, staff expertise in diverse fields, and national needs led to outstanding research and development in several key areas: environment, health, energy, computer science, and security.
Throughout the course of its operations, the potential for beryllium exposure existed at this site, due to beryllium use, residual contamination, and decontamination activities.
CONTRACTOR: Battelle Memorial Institute (2005-present)
