'''Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM)''' is an [[Energy Frontier Research Centers|Energy Frontier Research Center]], led by [[Pacific Northwest National Laboratory]] (PNNL), dedicated to understanding the complex chemistry of interfaces under radioactive conditions. IDREAM's research is pivotal for advancing nuclear waste management technologies, focusing on the chemical processes at interfaces in highly radioactive environments. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=5064}} ==Mission== The mission of IDREAM is to unravel the complexities of chemical reactions and processes at interfaces in radioactive settings to develop innovative solutions for nuclear waste management. By studying how radiation impacts materials and solutions, IDREAM seeks to provide the scientific foundation for more efficient processing of radioactive waste, particularly from legacy sites like Hanford{{cite web |url=https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=5064 |title=IDREAM: Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials |publisher= Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |access-date=February 5, 2025}}. ==Parent organization== IDREAM is managed by [https://www.pnnl.gov Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)], which operates under the [https://www.energy.gov U.S. Department of Energy]. This affiliation ensures that IDREAM's research aligns with national priorities in energy and environmental cleanup. ==Legislation== IDREAM was established through funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, specifically as part of the Energy Frontier Research Centers program, without direct legislative action. ==Partners== * Argonne National Laboratory * Oak Ridge National Laboratory * Georgia Institute of Technology * University of Notre Dame * University of Utah * University of Washington{{cite web |url=https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=5064 |title=IDREAM: Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials |publisher= Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |access-date=February 5, 2025}} ==Number of employees== The exact number of employees isn't specified, but IDREAM involves a team of scientists from various partner institutions. ==Organization structure== IDREAM's structure is centered around: * **Science Thrusts**: Focused on molecular processes, interfacial structure, and dynamics in radioactive environments. * **Cross-cutting Themes**: Including radiolysis and radiation dynamics, computational tools, and materials synthesis. ===Leader=== IDREAM is led by a [Director]. ===Divisions=== * - Molecular and Solution Processes * - Interfacial Structure and Reactivity * - Dynamics of Confined Electrolytes{{cite web |url=https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=5064 |title=IDREAM: Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials |publisher= Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |access-date=February 5, 2025}} ==List of programs== * Research into radiation-induced chemistry at interfaces * Advanced characterization of materials under radioactive conditions * Development of computational models for radioactive waste processing ==Last total enacted budget== IDREAM was awarded $14 million for four years (2020-2024) by the U.S. Department of Energy{{cite web |url=https://www.pnnl.gov/news/release.aspx?id=5162 |title=DOE Renews Funding for PNNL-led IDREAM Research Center |publisher= Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |access-date=February 5, 2025}}. ==Staff== IDREAM involves scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and students from PNNL and its partner institutions. ==Funding== Funding for IDREAM comes from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, supporting its research into nuclear waste management and radiation chemistry. ==Services provided== IDREAM provides research services aimed at understanding how radiation affects chemical reactions and material behavior in nuclear waste scenarios, contributing to the development of better waste management practices. ==Regulations overseen== IDREAM does not oversee regulations but conducts research that could inform policy and regulatory decisions regarding nuclear waste management. ==Headquarters address== 902 Battelle Blvd, Richland, WA 99354 ==History== Founded in 2016, IDREAM has been pivotal in exploring the fundamental science of nuclear waste, particularly the effects of radiation on materials and solutions. Its work is crucial for the DOE's efforts to clean up legacy waste sites, providing foundational knowledge for technology development in this area. ==External links== * [https://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=5064 Official IDREAM Information] * [[wikipedia:Energy Frontier Research Centers]] ==References==
