1. Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)

For more than 45 years, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has been a leading center for research and development related to energy issues and technologies. This focus has grown in importance as the nation has responded to worldwide events affecting energy supplies, national security, and international competitiveness. The mission of ANL's Environmental Assessment and Information Sciences Division (EID) is to develop and apply innovative approaches to issues concerning energy, the environment and information management. The approaches developed exploit such techniques as modeling, analysis, planning, experimental design, data management, and decision support. Appropriate analytical tools are designed, tested, implemented and transferred to sponsoring agencies and end users. The Division develops first-of-a-kind methods and applications and produces integrated, multidisciplinary assessments and sophisticated information systems. The Division has considerable expertise in emergency preparedness and planning for technology-related accidents and other emergencies. It plans and develops guidance for responding to emergencies at nuclear and hazardous materials facilities and to accidents involving related transportation operations.
