Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.

A paper by PNNL scientists on nuclear explosion monitoring technology is among top articles in nuclear instruments journal to draw most social media “buzz.”

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

PNNL dose reconstruction expert Bruce Napier reviews report on public exposure to ionizing radiation for the United Nations.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

The multi-year project funded by DOE’s High Energy Physics program will focus on using machine learning to prevent power outages.

Risk analysis on the plutonium-fueled power system that supplies electricity to the Mars rover answered the “what if” nuclear safety questions for NASA.

PNNL researchers are using explainable artificial intelligence to develop new ways to understand and interpret data for national security.

Explainable artificial intelligence—understanding and explaining the reasoning behind AI decisions—is a necessity for national security.

Explainable AI helps scientists understand and untangle the threads of information that the system uses to make choices or recommendations.

PNNL physicist Jan Strube is defining experimental requirements to track high-energy particles at the proposed International Linear Collider.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

A recent edition of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Group Journal featured an article written by PNNL researchers Rob Siefken and Jake Burns about “Design Basis Threat and the Low Threat Environment.”

As a physicist at PNNL, Jon Burnett’s work is about developing instruments to detect ultra-trace radionuclide signatures, analyze samples from around the world to look for evidence of nuclear explosions, and then interpret that information.

The workshop brought together 184 scientists to explore research opportunities for nuclear physics in artificial intelligence.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

Project manager Larry Morgan has spent half a century at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory—marking one of the longest tenures in the laboratory’s history.
