PNNL

Sandra Pratt joined the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a post-doctoral researcher for the National Security Internship Program in 2010 working on electrochemical separations of uranium and plutonium for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Currently, she is working on low-level actinide separations and analysis by multi-collector ICP-MS.
