Keeping America Safe: Jon Burnett
As a physicist at PNNL, Jon Burnett’s work is about developing instruments to detect ultra-trace radionuclide signatures, analyze samples from around the world to look for evidence of nuclear explosions, and then interpret that information.
Barilo Leads Rollout of First Ever Hydrogen Safety Credential

World War II Nazi Artifact at Work at PNNL
PNNL has what’s believed to be a Heisenberg Cube and uses it to help train international border guards to detect illicit nuclear material movement.
Enhanced Detection of Nuclear Events, Thanks to Deep Learning
Scientists are exploring the use of deep neural network to interpret highly technical data related to national security, the environment and the cosmos.
Ultrasensitive Measurements Keep Tabs on Nuclear Explosions
Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.
