PNNL's ASSORT model will help airports balance passenger screening and security risks with throughput. It also quantifies risks for different traveler types and optimizes checkpoint operations, improving efficiency while enhancing safety.
At the 2024 Aviation Futures Workshop, researchers from PNNL joined other subject matter experts and representatives from the stakeholder community in reimagining the passenger experience.
The Health Physics Society has selected Jonathan Napier, a PNNL environmental health physicist, to serve as a delegate to the International Radiation Protection Association’s General Assembly.
Fish biologist Brenda Pracheil has been named chair of the Low Impact Hydropower Institute focused on reduction of impacts of hydropower dams on the environment.
A PNNL team is leading the design, fabrication, and regulatory testing, and delivery of new packaging units that will be used to ship radioactive materials safely and securely.
Electrical engineer Aditya Ashok and cybersecurity researcher Thomas Edgar win best paper award for their work to create a new high-fidelity dataset that will help advance cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure protection.
Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.
A recent edition of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Group Journal featured an article written by PNNL researchers Rob Siefken and Jake Burns about “Design Basis Threat and the Low Threat Environment.”
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.
PNNL has earned “Best Paper” at an international resilience conference for research on hydropower’s capabilities and constraints in the event of extreme events, like hurricanes and rolling blackouts.
