The mission of the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (RPL) is to create and implement innovative processes for environmental clean-up and the beneficial use of radioactive materials. This includes processes to advance the cleanup of radiological and hazardous wastes; the processing and disposal of nuclear fuels; and the production and delivery of medical isotopes. The RPL's vision is to be renowned for solving global problems with premier staff and facilities.
The Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (RPL) is one of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's three strategic user facilities, along with the Applied Process Engineering Laboratory (APEL) and the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL). These three strategic facilities are considered anchors to the Laboratory's mission of research, development, and deployment of solutions to the Nation's critical environmental and health problems.
