We're busy getting ready for this year's SRNL Research SLAM, where science meets showtime! Eight young and brilliant SRNL researchers are getting ready to take the stage on August 14 at the Aiken Community Theatre with easy-to-understand, three-minute presentations about their research and why it’s important. This year, the event is open to the community to join in on the fun and learn about the amazing science SRNL does and why it's so important. A panel of judges will choose the first and second place awards, but the audience will choose a third people’s choice award. And here's the best part: it’s free!

Savannah River National Laboratory summer intern Christina Bonner just graduated from Savannah State University with a B.S. in computer science technology and cyber security. She is currently pursuing an M.S. in computer information systems security and information assurance at Augusta University. Her internship is part of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) under the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program. This summer, Christina is working in cyber security under the mentorship of Ty'Rez G. (Gunter). She is working on assessing vulnerabilities in SRNL’s cyber landscape, identifying the problems, and formulating solutions to protect and secure critical information.

SRNL recently acquired a new instrument that provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis of elements and isotopes to support the development of new methods while offering significant improvement and expansion of current analytical capabilities. Known as the Agilent 8900 Inductively Coupled Plasma Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (QQQ-ICP-MS), this instrument can support a variety of techniques including reaction gas interference removal, organics analysis and chemical speciation. This instrument is used for compound identification and provides molecular weight of the inserted sample. Though SRNL has several similar instruments on site, the new version has been installed outside of radiological containment, allowing the opportunity to work without risk of contaminating equipment or personnel and allows for a higher volume of experiments. SRNL Analytical and Tank Farm Characterization Team scientist Nathan Wyeth said, “The [instrument] will be utilized for the development of new analytical capabilities ... this system allows for seamless integration of new methods to existing process instruments without introducing analysis downtime.” SRNL staff are briefed on the new Agilent 8900 Inductively Coupled Plasma Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer.
