The Savannah River National Laboratory
(SRNL) is the applied research and development laboratory at the
Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS). Originally
established to support SRS, with its mission to produce the basic
materials used in the fabrication of nuclear weapons, today SRNL
puts science to work to serve a variety of customers across DOE,
NNSA, other federal agencies, and a small number of commercial
customers, in the areas of national and homeland security, energy
security, and environmental and process technology. Since the end
of the Cold War, SRNL has played an instrumental role in finding
solutions to environmental remediation and waste stabilization
problems at SRS and other government sites. SRNL has a wide
spectrum of expertise in areas such as hydrogen energy,
nonproliferation and counterintelligence, environmental science,
waste processing, homeland security, analytical chemistry,
instruments and sensors, robotics, and materials technologies. SRNL
and SRS are managed by Westinghouse Savannah River Company, a
subsidiary of Washington Group International.
Mission
SRNL's mission is to meet national and SRS
Science and Technology needs; to build technical capabilities to
meet future national needs and future SRS missions; and to provide
the R&D vital to the nation that can also stimulate the
region's technology-based economy through partnerships with South
Carolina and regional universities and collaborations with regional
governments.

The Aiken County Technology Laboratory (ACTL) was established at Aiken County's Savannah River Research Campus to provide modern laboratory facilities for SRNL's unclassified research and development in the fields of waste management, environmental sciences, and biotechnology. The County-owned Research Campus, located adjacent to the Savannah River National Laboratory's main campus, provides a setting that facilitates collaboration with universities and other institutions. ACTL occupies over 20,000 square feet of laboratory space, including state-of-the-art vitrification furnaces used to support operation of the Savannah River Site's Defense Waste Processing Facility, bioanalytical support facilities, anaerobic facilities, and 2,000 square feet of high bay space that allows for pilot-scale facilities. The Laboratory also includes conference room amenities.

The Savannah River National Laboratory's (SRNL) Analytical Laboratories have supported SRS operations for more than 55 years, providing high quality analytical, radiometric and environmental monitoring data to a range of customers. Since the mid-1950s, the labs have provided a diverse array of scientific and technical services in support of Site missions. The labs perform analyses on a wide range of matrices, such as soil, water, gases, foodstuffs, decommissioning debris, waste and process control samples. The laboratories maintain certifications and qualifications through a variety of governing bodies, which allow multiple applications of laboratories services. Over 100,000 samples are processed yearly, producing 300,000 determinations with an error-free rate averaging 99.99 percent.

Energy Materials Research Laboratory (EMRL)
The Energy Materials Research Laboratory at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) creates a cross-disciplinary laboratory facility that lends itself to the integration of research and application of advanced materials that is focused on major laboratory and national initiatives. It drives innovation in advanced materials, either through fundamental changes or simple refinements in polymeric, ceramic, electronic, or metallic materials and materials systems in support of current and emerging national energy technology initiatives. This multi-disciplinary laboratory develops and fosters collaborations with academic, private industry and the government to develop and implement basic and applied research activities within the defined Strategic Thrusts for SRNL, and acts as an enduring resource for new high-technology, highly-skilled workforce development for both SRNL and the nation. EMRL leverages breakthroughs in materials science and technology to ensure the most effective solutions to support national DOE initiatives in transformational sustainable energy technologies and infrastructure missions. SRNL's core competency in materials science and its position as a premier applied science laboratory makes it an ideal agent to help develop and transition materials science technologies to these end applications. Objectives Conduct Cutting Edge Materials Research to Develop Clean, Sustainable Energy Technologies Attract and Develop New Research for Clean, Sustainable Energy Research Focus Focal point areas for advanced materials science and technology development will center on the following: Synthesis, characterization, and performance testing of advanced materials in support of a broad spectrum of energy technologies Energy storage materials and systems Solar energy materials Materials for wind and marine energy systems Novel materials and processes for CO2 capture and reuse Nuclear energy technologies

The F/H Laboratory is the largest of the eight laboratories within the SRS Analytical Area Project with over 100,000 square feet of floor space, 20,000 square foot of lab space, and a staff of 164. Building 772-F, with 25 active laboratories, is constructed of blast-resistant concrete. Building 772-1F has 23 active laboratories and four shielded cells. Both facilities operate on a continuous basis. Types of Samples Accepted: The F/H Lab accepts both radiological and non-radiological liquid and solid samples for process, product, accountability, and criticality safety analyses. The F/H Lab is also qualified to accept several types of Industrial Hygiene samples. The facility operates under limits for radiological and fissile material based on the hazard categorization of the facilities (772-F is HC-2 / 772-1F is HC-3). In most cases, High Alpha or Rad samples may be diluted in glove boxes or shielded cells for analysis in other facility locations.
