PNNL technology strengthens grid, earns national awards

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer has given three national awards to PNNL technology teams.

Methane emissions from coal mines are higher than previously thought

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, because of emissions from abandoned mines and higher content in deep coal seams.

PNNl researchers track radioiodine's chemical evolution

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

PNNL researchers are examining the volatile radioisotope iodine as it evolves in the atmosphere and as it lands on a filtering surface. A more detailed understanding of the interactions and chemical evolution of radioiodine could help first responders' decision-making after the release of volatile iodine into the environment, which happened following nuclear power plant accidents in 1986 at Chernobyl and in 2011 at Fukushima.
