The former WSU-PNNL Nuclear Science and Technology Institute was a joint research collaboration of Washington State University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Our mission
Understand and control how materials evolve in radiation environments—to prevent the use of illicit nuclear materials, resolve issues in nuclear waste management, and advance next-generation nuclear energy.
Our vision
To be a recognized leader in education, multidisciplinary research, and innovation in nuclear science and technology; and to strengthen the regional workforce and attract top scientific talent to the Northwest.
What’s New
WSU and PNNL launched the Nuclear Science and Technology Institute on April 3, 2018, at WSU’s Tri-Cities campus in Richland, Washington, along with two other WSU-PNNL institutes

About
The Institute combined WSU and PNNL’s mutual expertise and world-renowned reputations in nuclear science research in our complementary specialized nuclear facilities, with a focus on education and investments in people and innovation.
Opportunities
The WSU-PNNL Nuclear Science and Technology Institute offered researchers and students access to some of the world’s most advanced analytical and characterization instrumentation integrated with state-of-the art computational facilities. The Institute also enabled participants to study radiation-induced processes across length and time-scales, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with nationally recognized experts in nuclear science and engineering.
