This week, Savannah River National Laboratory celebrates 20 years as one of our National Labs! Under the DOE Office of Environmental Management, SRNL continues to put science to work to protect our environment, serve our national defense, secure our clean energy future and reduce emerging nuclear threats.
Tuesday, May 7, 2024, marked the 20th anniversary of Savannah River National Laboratory being designated as a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory. To help mark the occasion, Laboratory Director Vahid Majidi, Deputy Director of Operations Sharon Marra, and Deputy Director of Science and Technology Sue Clark celebrated with SRNL employees at three different SRNL locations. More about the celebration is in the Digest article Savannah National Laboratory Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Designation as National Laboratory at https://lnkd.in/dPjwKrdE

Achieving the goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050 will require an unprecedented deployment of clean energy technologies and a significant transformation of the nation’s energy infrastructure. It won’t be easy, but a new report titled AI for Energy shows how it can be done – by harnessing the power of capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to decarbonize the U.S. economy.

Today, we’d like to share another first for the Department of Energy. For the first-time in our history, we’re establishing an agency-related nonprofit foundation—The Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation (FESI)—to accelerate the commercialization of energy technologies. And we’d like you to meet its leaders. The Foundation’s inaugural board of directors are some of the United States’ best and brightest energy leaders and will foster public-private partnerships to meet our country’s ambitious clean energy goals. Learn more about the Foundation and board members here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eP-_vuej
The DOE's new FESI foundation appointed 13 board members from investing and industry

With support from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), scientists have merged two leading methods of fusion containment into a hybrid model that could be game-changing in advancing the development of fusion energy and make a path forward to more sustainable, abundant energy production. #FusionEnergyWeek
Sometimes you don't need a new technology - you just need to look at existing ones in a new way. To contain plasma for fusion, researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) combined two older technologies. This approach offers a promising path forward, as covered in Popular Mechanics: https://lnkd.in/e4qq3ybv
