Washington State University and the Colorado School of Mines propose to train graduate students in radiochemistry through an innovative pathway, involving a mature academic radiochemistry program at Washington State University (WSU) and a similar emerging program at Colorado School of Mines (CSM), in partnership with three national laboratories each differing in their mission: Idaho National Laboratory (INL), a DOE-NE laboratory; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a DOE-SC laboratory; and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a DOE-NNSA laboratory. The universities propose a joint WSU-CSM radiochemistry traineeship program to develop a new generation of highly-skilled radiochemists with expertise focused on national needs.
