Company overview
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is a premier U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in applied research and development for environmental management, national security, and energy resilience. Established in 1951 during the Cold War era, SRNL operates as a multi-program federally funded R&D center managed by Battelle Savannah River Alliance. With over 1,400 dedicated professionals including scientists, engineers, and technical staff, the laboratory focuses on three core mission areas: environmental stewardship, national security, and energy security. SRNL's expertise spans nuclear materials management, environmental remediation, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing technologies. As one of 17 DOE national laboratories, it plays a critical role in maintaining America's nuclear deterrent, reducing global nuclear threats, and developing innovative solutions for environmental cleanup. The laboratory operates specialized facilities including radiologically controlled laboratories, ultra-low-level counting facilities, and the only radiological crime investigation laboratory in the United States, making it a vital asset for national security and scientific advancement.
