New methodological approach demonstrates how to assess the economic value, including non-traditional value streams, of converting non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities.

New research identifies the most important factors in successful fish passage, pointing toward new options for flexible dam operations.

Developed with community input, the new Hydropower Vision Roadmap lays out a path to achieve a shared vison for modern hydropower by 2050.

Glenn Fugate was selected to serve on the American Chemical Society's Science Committee.

Daniel Deng, mechanical engineer and Laboratory Fellow at PNNL, has been named 2022 PNNL Inventor of the Year.

Brian Milbrath, a physicist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was selected as a new Task Leader for the PrepCom’s Working Group B.

Fish biologist Brenda Pracheil has been named chair of the Low Impact Hydropower Institute focused on reduction of impacts of hydropower dams on the environment.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

Near-real-time fish tracking using a new acoustic receiver developed by PNNL can support enhanced fish passage through hydropower dams.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.

A new fitness tracker that’s very much like a ‘Fitbit for fish’ is revealing new information about fish health and behavior.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

A unique data set following Chinook salmon as they negotiate hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River is now available to researchers worldwide.

Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.

A paper by PNNL scientists on nuclear explosion monitoring technology is among top articles in nuclear instruments journal to draw most social media “buzz.”

PNNL scientists developed a new, tiny battery and tag to track younger, smaller species, to evaluate behavior and estimate survival during downstream migration.

Alison Colotelo, senior research scientist and project manager, has been selected for the Hydropower Foundation advisory board.

PNNL biologists have developed a more efficient way to estimate salmon survival through dams that uses solid science but saves over 42 percent of the cost.

Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.

PNNL's Sensor Fish were deployed at Ice Harbor Dam to collect data from a new turbine. The data indicates the design changes are making travel through the dam less arduous for fish.
