Recognizing the 60th anniversary of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

This House Resolution celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) , which originated in 1965 as the Pacific Northwest Laboratory at the Hanford Site. Over six decades, PNNL has evolved into one of the Department of Energy's most diversified national laboratories, addressing critical challenges in science, energy, and national security. The resolution highlights PNNL's significant contributions, including supporting nuclear waste cleanup, modernizing the energy grid, advancing energy storage, and bolstering national security through nonproliferation and cybersecurity efforts. It also recognizes PNNL's substantial economic impact as a major employer and research spender, its extensive collaborations with academic institutions and industry, and its commitment to training the next generation of scientists through STEM outreach programs.
