Sandia switches to hydrogen weather balloons
By switching the gas used in their balloons, Sandia researchers have reduced their metaphorical footprint on the fragile Arctic ecosystem.
Protecting canisters against corrosion
Researchers test coatings on stainless steel, which is used for canisters that hold spent nuclear fuel, to determine the best materials to protect the containers from corrosive sea air.
Enhancing advanced nuclear reactor analysis
A team of engineers have developed a standardized screening method to determine the most important radioactive isotopes that could leave an advanced reactor site in the unlikely event of an accident.
Looking to the future
High school students from Gallup and Grants, New Mexico, spent a day learning about Sandia and hearing career stories from staff who grew up in their hometowns.
