Spotlight on National Labs


ANS Webinars - National Lab  Series
Don't miss tomorrow's free webinar!
Make plans to watch a free webinar on Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory tomorrow from 12:00 - 1:30 pm EDT. Learn about the lab's history and current ongoing research in the sixth installment of the ANS Young Members Group "Spotlight on National Labs" series.
 
 
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.
