PNNL

Lindsey Gehrig joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in September 2015 and is currently a nonproliferation policy advisor in the National Security Directorate. Prior to joining the Laboratory, Gehrig worked for different programs in the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control, including the International Nuclear Security program and the International Nuclear Safeguards Engagement program. Gehrig’s primary area of responsibility involved bilateral engagement with foreign partners to develop the procedures, programs, systems, and expertise necessary to sustainably implement effective physical protection and safeguards regimes. 

Since joining PNNL, Gehrig has continued to focus on nonproliferation policy and managing PNNL’s support to NNSA programs. Her portfolio includes nuclear security, nuclear safeguards, nonproliferation policy, and civil nuclear cooperation. For the last several years, her research has focused on the rate, scale, and variety of nuclear energy applications under consideration as the international community seeks to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. The goal of this work is to help ensure that expanded deployment of nuclear energy does not compromise the robust nonproliferation standards that facilitate peaceful uses of this technology.
