PNNL

Mr. Eric Berglin has special expertise in engineering problem solving and in providing novel research experiments, instrumentation, and mechanical designs operating in extreme environments (e.g., hazardous, radiation, ultra-high vacuum) in specialized areas (e.g., remote systems, optics, x-ray systems).

His engineering experience is diverse and purposely varied to acquire a range of skills and expertise to be highly adaptable. Much of his work has been related to the nuclear industry and includes reactor systems, radioactive waste processing, liquid and solid waste cleanup, and weapons testing. Recent non-nuclear activities include border security, fluid system experimental design and testing, terrorist detection system testing, fuel cell application, biomass pumping, hydrogen safety, small modular reactor assessments, and building energy codes.

Before joining PNNL as a mechanical engineer in the Nuclear Sciences Division, Mr. Berglin worked at AREVA (formerly Cogema), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Westinghouse Hanford Company (Hanford Site).
