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.

Researchers are developing and deploying solutions to reduce risk and increase efficiency while keeping people and the environment safe.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

Bradley Crowell with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sees advanced materials integrity, radiological measurement, and environmental capabilities on his first visit to PNNL.

Under Secretary for Science and Innovation at the Department of Energy Geri Richmond visited PNNL.

Focused research studies of advanced algorithms and materials are setting the stage for the next generation of quantum computers.

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.

PNNL wins three FLC awards in annual technology innovation competition.

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.

Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.

PNNL dose reconstruction expert Bruce Napier reviews report on public exposure to ionizing radiation for the United Nations.

Risk analysis on the plutonium-fueled power system that supplies electricity to the Mars rover answered the “what if” nuclear safety questions for NASA.

PNNL researchers are using explainable artificial intelligence to develop new ways to understand and interpret data for national security.

PNNL's Brenda Wiesner creates one-of-a-kind artwork using peeling paint and rusty scraps from decommissioned RPM shells.

Explainable artificial intelligence—understanding and explaining the reasoning behind AI decisions—is a necessity for national security.

Explainable AI helps scientists understand and untangle the threads of information that the system uses to make choices or recommendations.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

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.
