Background/History of the Laboratory:
Among the national laboratories, Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory (PNNL)—operated by Battelle for more
than 40 years—has a rich history of matching world leading scientific solutions to marketplace
needs. As one
of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) ten national laboratories, managed by DOE's Office of Science,
PNNL performs interdisciplinary research for other DOE offices as well as government agencies, universities,
and industry to deliver breakthrough science and technology to meet today's key national needs.
Located in Richland, Wash., the Laboratory has approximately
4,200 staff members and a business volume of
nearly $900 million. The William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a DOE Office
of
Science national scientific user facility, is located on PNNL's Richland campus. PNNL operates a marine
research facility in Sequim, Wash., and has satellite offices in Seattle and Tacoma, Wash.; Portland,
Ore.; and
Washington, D.C.
Battelle has operated PNNL for DOE and its predecessors
since 1965. A unique feature of Battelle's contract
with DOE private research to be conducted using government facilities.
Mission of the Laboratory:
PNNL's mission is to deliver leadership and advancements
in science, energy, national security and the
environment for the benefit of the U.S. Department of Energy and the nation. More specifically, the
Laboratory
