Science for the Front Line: Rey Suarez
Detecting radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion for treaty monitoring
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is highlighting scientific and technical experts in the national security domain who were recently promoted to scientist and engineer Level 5, one of PNNL’s most senior research roles. Each of these researchers has made significant contributions to the national security science, technology, and innovations developed at PNNL.
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.
“PNNL provides an opportunity work on some of the world's most challenging problems," said Suarez. "What I enjoy is the opportunity to work with multi-disciplinary, high-performing teams that are affecting the mission. We work as a team to help keep the nation safe.”
