by Casey Knopik (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) New facility will foster research collaborations to accelerate scientific discovery and technological innovation A new research facility on the Richland campus of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is set to open fall 2021. The Energy Sciences Center (ESC) will feature many of PNNL’s strengths in chemistry, materials sciences, and computing in one building.
“The ESC will accelerate innovation in energy research using chemistry, materials science, and quantum information sciences supporting the nation’s climate and clean energy research agenda,” said Lou Terminello, associate laboratory director of the Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate. “This will be one of the most advanced facilities in the world designed for this type of research and will be a tremendous asset for the nation. The research that it will enable is going to play an important part in decarbonizing the energy system.”

Both the House and Senate have approved spending almost $2.6 billion at the Hanford nuclear reservation for fiscal 2021.
The spending bill passed Monday as part of a $2.3 trillion package to provide relief from the coronavirus and to pay for government operations for fiscal 2021, which began Oct. 1
The Department of Energy has been spending at levels approved for fiscal 2020.
Now the bill, goes to President Trump for his signature.
“Overall, it’s a great bill for the Tri-Cities’ DOE priorities, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic support we received from Sen. (Patty) Murray, Sen. (Maria) Cantwell, and Congressman Dan Newhouse,” said David Reeploeg, vice president of federal programs for the Tri-City Development Council.
