Biography

Brian Riley is a Senior Materials Scientist in the Nuclear Science Division at PNNL. Dr. Riley’s work focuses on the development of waste forms (e.g., glass, glass-ceramics) for a variety of nuclear waste streams (e.g., DOE legacy wastes, UNF reprocessing wastes), off-gas management (e.g., iodine, noble gases), and materials exploration (e.g., non-oxide materials). His passions are materials development for a variety of applications.

Research Interests

  • Non-oxide materials synthesis and characterization (e.g., chalcogenides, zinc blende, chalcopyrites)
  • Glass waste form development (e.g., tellurite, phosphate, lanthanide borosilicate, high-level waste)
  • Glass-ceramic waste form development (e.g., mixed MoO3 and lanthanide waste stream)
  • Aerogel development for gaseous radionuclide capture (e.g., non-oxide chalcogels, metal-exchanged aluminosilicates)
  • Metal-exchanged zeolites for gaseous radionuclide capture
  • Molten salt reactor waste and effluent management
  • Liquidus temperature measurements of waste and simulated nuclear waste glasses
