Sportlight on National Labs ANS Webinars


ANS Webinars - National Lab  Series
Register for a free webinar next Thursday
We invite you to participate in the sixth installment of the ANS Young Members Group "Spotlight on National Labs" series, featuring Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Learn about the lab's history and current ongoing research related to nuclear sciences and engineering.
 
Taking place next Thursday, July 16, 12:00 - 1:30 pm EDT, the webinar is free and open to all. Register today.
 
LLNL was created in 1952 as a “new ideas” laboratory to augment the efforts of Los Alamos in accelerating the U.S.’s hydrogen bomb program. Beginning with the vision of Nobel Prize winner and LLNL namesake E.O. Lawrence, the laboratory established a matrix organization that allows experts in various disciplines to assemble as a team and work together to understand and solve complex problems, a distinguishing feature of LLNL that is still in use today. The unique LLNL environment has allowed for advances in many disparate fields, including high performance computing, laser technology, element discovery, and nuclear weapons science and technology.
