PNNL combines AI and cloud computing with damage assessment tool to predict path of wildfires and quickly evaluate the impact of natural disasters, giving first responders an upper hand.

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.

PNNL's Brenda Wiesner creates one-of-a-kind artwork using peeling paint and rusty scraps from decommissioned RPM shells.

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

PNNL designed a free, web-based tool to visually explore the National Response Framework.

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

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

Ann Lesperance, national security advisor, joins the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Committee on Applied Research Topics for Hazard Mitigation and Resilience.

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.

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

Quantum computing experts gather in the Pacific Northwest to discuss challenges and progress.

Researchers apply numerical simulations to understand more about a sturdy material and how its basic structure responds to and resists radiation. The outcomes could help guide development of the resilient materials of the future.

PNNL scientists served as lead guest editors for a special issue of the Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.
