Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a United States research institution founded in 1952. For more than 70 years, it has applied science and technology to national security, nuclear deterrence, and global stability. The laboratory operates within the national security, defense, energy, and nuclear research sectors.
LLNL's technical work spans several domains critical to its mission. These include nuclear deterrence, counterterrorism and nonproliferation, defense and intelligence, energy and environmental security, and fusion science. The laboratory is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.
The laboratory's large-scale computational and data-driven projects support its scientific research and national security objectives. This involves significant data center operations to handle complex simulations, modeling, and analysis across its various research programs.
