Home to the National Ignition Facility (NIF), some of the world's most powerful supercomputers (e.g., El Capitan), advanced manufacturing labs, and specialized facilities for materials science and biotechnology.

Work Culture:

A mission-driven, collaborative, and innovative environment focused on scientific excellence, interdisciplinary research, and national service. Emphasizes safety, security, and integrity in all operations.

HQ Significance:

A cornerstone of U.S. national security science and technology, critical for nuclear stockpile stewardship, nonproliferation efforts, and pioneering research in areas like fusion energy, climate science, and biosecurity.

Values Reflected in HQ: The campus and its operations reflect LLNL's core values: impact on mission, science and technology excellence, innovation, integrity, a diverse and inclusive workforce, and a strong commitment to safety and security.

Location:

While primarily based in California, LLNL has a significant global impact through international scientific collaborations, partnerships with foreign governments and research institutions on nonproliferation and global security, and contributions to international research projects in areas like climate science, energy, and health security. LLNL experts often participate in international conferences, workshops, and peer reviews, sharing knowledge and advancing global scientific understanding. The Laboratory's work in arms control verification and treaty monitoring also inherently has a global reach.
