Welcome to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, one of nine U.S. Department of Energy multi-program national laboratories.

At Pacific Northwest, we deliver breakthrough science and technology to meet key national needs. We also apply our capabilities to meet selected environmental, energy, health and national security objectives, strengthen the economy, and support the education of future scientists and engineers.

Pacific Northwest is managed by DOE's Office of Science, but we perform work for many DOE offices as well as other government agencies.

Battelle has operated Pacific Northwest for DOE and its predecessors since 1965. A unique feature of Battelle's contract with DOE allows our staff to work for private industry.
