Graduate Fellow Explores Artificial Intelligence, Nuclear Nonproliferation
National Nuclear Security Administration Graduate Fellow Marc Wonders has spent the past year working with researchers exploring artificial intelligence in the national security mission space.
Creating the Art of the Possible
When training for chemical and biological threats, in-person exercises and drills can be very limited due to the hazardous nature of the agent.
Sidestepping the Thin Data Problem in National Security
PNNL researchers are using explainable artificial intelligence to develop new ways to understand and interpret data for national security.
Building Skills for Her Future
A series of internships and course work help prepare PNNL intern Eva Jacroux for prestigious scholarship.
Ultra-Sensitive Radiation Detectors Provide Deeper Dive into Groundwater
PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.
Fellowship Builds Future Leaders for Nuclear Security
PNNL and the National Nuclear Security Administration are building future leaders for nuclear security through the NNSA Graduate Fellowship Program, a hands-on fellowship spanning the nuclear security enterprise.
How Lasers Can Help with Nuclear Nonproliferation Monitoring
A team of researchers is working to expand our uranium chemistry understanding using a surprising tool: lasers. This capability gives never-before-seen insight into uranium gas-phase oxidation during nuclear explosions.
It’s Elemental: Ultra-trace Detector Tests Gold Purity
Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.
NNSA Commends PNNL Team for Steadfast Support of Material Removal
In a December press release, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced the safe and secure removal of 50 sample containers of plutonium-239 and americium-241.
Maintaining Social Capital Helped Nuclear Safeguards Projects Succeed
In 2020, virtual Washington State University teams successfully worked together in a program sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.
