COLLOQUIUM - NOTE SPECIAL TIME OF 3:15PM: Savannah River National Laboratory: Underpinning Critical National Missions

The Cold War mission of the Savannah River Site in South Carolina was to produce nuclear materials for the national defense. Since the Cold War ended, SRS has continued to ensure United States national and energy security while cleaning up the environmental legacy from nuclear materials production. Throughout the history of SRS, the Savannah River National Laboratory has developed the processes to successfully accomplish the site’s missions.

SRNL is a multi-program laboratory dedicated to addressing the nation’s present and future challenges in National Security, Clean Energy, and Environmental Stewardship. Dr. Jeff Griffin, SRNL Associate Laboratory Director for Environmental Stewardship, will describe challenges in those areas and some innovative ways SRNL has put science to work to meet those challenges.
