National Laboratory Management and Operations
Simultaneous Excellence® Philosophy
Solving What Matters Most
Battelle manages eight national laboratories for the U.S. Departments of Energy and Homeland Security and partners in managing the Canadian National Laboratories, delivering unmatched capabilities that drive discovery, inspire innovation and solve what matters most.
As a contract manager of the U.S National Laboratories under the Government-Owned Contractor-Operated (GOCO) governance model, Battelle emphasizes the value and relevance of these laboratories. Our success is driven by applying Battelle's Simultaneous Excellence® philosophy of managing and operating national labs.
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)
BNL advances fundamental research in U.S. nuclear and particle physics, applies photon sciences and nanomaterials research to energy challenges, and performs cross-disciplinary research on environmental change, sustainable energy and Earth’s ecosystems. BNL is managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC. Battelle and Stony Brook University are the LLC member companies.
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL)
Working under the direction of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), CNL is Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology laboratory. CNL fulfills three strategic priorities of Canadian national importance – restoring and protecting the environment, advancing clean energy technologies, and contributing to the health of Canadians. CNL works to advance innovative Canadian products and services towards real-world use, including carbon-free energy, cancer treatments and other therapies, non-proliferation technologies and waste management solutions.
CNL is managed by Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada (NLPC), a joint venture led by BWX Technologies, Inc., with teaming partners including Battelle, Kinectrics, and Amentum.
Idaho National Laboratory (INL)
INL is the United State’s lead laboratory for nuclear energy research, development, demonstration and deployment. The lab is charged with providing the nation with energy security with safe, competitive and sustainable energy systems and unique national and homeland security capabilities. INL is managed by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC. Battelle is the LLC member company.
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
LANL executes work for multiple government agencies including the U.S. Department of Energy, Department of War and Department of Homeland Security. As a result, LANL’s strategy reflects U.S. priorities spanning nuclear security, intelligence, defense, emergency response, nonproliferation, counterterrorism, energy security, emerging threats and environmental management. LANL is managed by Triad National Security, LLC. Battelle, the Texas A&M University System and the University of California are the LLC member companies.
National Biodefense Analysis & Countermeasures Center (NBACC)
NBACC conducts bioforensic analysis of evidence from a bio-crime or terrorist attack and provides scientific data for law enforcement attribution investigations. The U.S. lab also conducts studies and laboratory experiments to fill in information gaps to better understand current and future biological threats. NBACC is managed by Battelle National Biodefense Institute, LLC. Battelle is the LLC member company.
National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)
NLR bridges research with real-world applications to advance U.S. energy technologies that lower costs, boost the economy, strengthen security, and ensure abundant energy.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
ORNL is the largest U.S. Department of Energy science and energy laboratory, conducting basic and applied research to deliver transformative solutions to compelling problems in energy and security through four major focus areas, including neutrons, computing, materials and nuclear. ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC. Battelle and the University of Tennessee are the LLC member companies.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
PNNL advances the frontiers of U.S. science and engineering by making fundamental scientific discoveries that illuminate the mysteries of our planet and the universe. The lab applies its scientific expertise to tackle some of the most challenging problems in energy, the environment and national security. PNNL is managed by Battelle.
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL)
SRNL is the applied research and development laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS). This lab is committed to solving the complex problems of the times, such as the detection of weapons of mass destruction, the cleanup of contaminated groundwater and soils, the development of hydrogen as an energy source, the need for a viable national defense, and the safe management of hazardous materials. SRNL is managed by Battelle Savannah River Alliance, LLC. Battelle is the LLC member company.
