Strategic Partnering to Achieve National and Global Impacts, cont.
Sandia is working at the Waste Isolation Pilot
Project and the Yucca Mountain Project on performance assessment,
geoscience technologies, and engineered barriers
research. Other efforts focus on the security
and management of sealed radioactive sources,
hazardous, and nuclear materials.
The goal of ERN’s Global Security programs
is to create sustainable, technology-based system
solutions through international cooperation.
Sandians in these programs are at work in
nuclear, regional security, and biological thrust
areas. In addition to international safeguards
efforts in Europe and Asia, programs are under
way to reduce radiological threats,
increase biosurveillance and biosecurity,
and strengthen regional security in
South Asia and the Middle East.
Sandia’s Science Research portfolio of
projects includes fusion energy research,
biological and environmental research, and
computational technology research. Basic
energy sciences research in materials sciences,
chemical sciences, and earth sciences continues
to open new possibilities. Sandia’s
Center for
Integrated Nanotechnologies is among the world-class research and
development laboratories engaged in these
projects.
