The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) employs various technologies to enhance environmental management and public safety. One significant area is the regulation of radioactive materials, where the department oversees the shipping of high-level and low-level radioactive waste. This includes implementing a fee structure for shipments, which funds essential activities such as inspections, emergency response training, and environmental remediation. The MoDNR collaborates with multiple state departments to ensure that the handling of radioactive materials is conducted safely and efficiently, thereby protecting public health and the environment.

In addition to its regulatory functions, MoDNR is advancing its scientific capabilities through the renovation of the Missouri Geological Survey's Rock Lab. This facility now features modern equipment and improved integration of computer technology, allowing geologists to conduct detailed investigations and analyses of geological samples. The lab's enhancements support critical minerals research in partnership with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, aiming to identify economically viable deposits of rare earth elements. These technological advancements not only foster scientific inquiry but also have the potential to create economic opportunities for the state.
