Below are a few examples of PNNL led risk analysis and management projects:

• Updated frequency and impact assessment of natural phenomena hazards for the Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford Site.
• Used Probabilistic Risk Assessment concepts to characterize the risk on the power grid from high-consequence, low-frequency events such as severe earthquakes and solar storms, for DOE's Office of Electricity.
• Created the Vulnerability Assessment and Resilience Planning Risk Assessment Tool for the DOE Sustainability Performance Division. This tool provides a risk screening for potential impacts to critical DOE site infrastructure that may result from exposure to hazards, with an emphasis on potential impacts of climate change.
• Developed risk-based Cybersecurity Program requirements and guidance for Nuclear Regulatory Commission, DOE, and Department of Defense sponsors to protect renewable energy generating facilities, such as nuclear power plants, marine energy systems, solar photovoltaic arrays, and wind turbine generators, from cyber-attacks.
• PNNL manages several homeland security-related nuclear materials risk programs on behalf of the Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration to develop risk management plans, lead risk elicitations to identify and assess risks, and implement a systematic risk management program. The needs range from the less sophisticated, which focuses on building a semi-quantitative risk program, to the more complex, where regular schedule risk analyses are conducted to estimate schedule contingency costs. Or, a risk-based process model with built-in uncertainties is used to estimate the amount of material that would be produced over time at a specific confidence level.
