Los Alamos to lead fuel cell consortia

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Representing hydrogen's atomic weight of 1.008, National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is Thursday, October 8. As part of the government effort to drive improvements in hydrogen and fuel cell work, several new consortia have been awarded, and Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists co-lead two of them, partnering on a third.

Successful crash test meets major milestone for nuclear deterrence program

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

A full-scale crash test involving a semitruck impacting the side of the first prototype of a new weapons transporter successfully took place at Sandia National Laboratories this summer. Using the labs' sled track, rockets propelled the semitractor-trailer at highway speeds into the prototype, an over-the-road Mobile Guardian Transporter. Data from the event will be used for qualification of the transporter and to better understand cargo response in accident scenarios for years to come.
