PNNL Announces Next Seminar as Part of its Community Science and Technology VIRTUAL Seminar Series5/21/2020 The next seminar in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series, “Glass: A Common Material Solving An Uncommon Problem – How Do We Immobilize Nuclear Waste?” presented by Jaime George, Materials Scientist at PNNL, will take place on Tuesday, May 26, 2020, at 7:00 p.m., via Zoom.
Learn about the work PNNL is doing to help solve one of the biggest challenges we face as a country – how do we safely immobilize nuclear waste for future generations? Waste vitrification, the process of turning waste into glass, is the technology selected on the Hanford site to clean up 50 million gallons of legacy waste. Learn how the glass melters work, why glass is a good candidate for waste immobilization, and some of the technical challenges we are tackling. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series was launched to help the general public better understand and explore how science transforms our world.
