??-??-?? ???? ???? ?????? ?? ?? ? It's Pi Day, and INL research scientist Alexander Hanson is taking us into our Hot Fuel Examination Facility to explain post irradiation examination (P-I-E, or pie, for short). ? Data gathered from analyses by our experts, like Alex, help produce better nuclear fuels, build new nuclear reactors or replace components in existing ones. ?

?????????? ???? ?????? ?? We asked our buddy Matt Meehan to recite as many digits of pi (π) as he could, but we think he got confused! ??♂??? Today, we celebrate our favorite irrational number, pi. This never-ending, non-repeating superstar is crucial in many STEM careers – just like those here at INL! Curious about where pi can take you?

INL's Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment, or MCRE, is solving complex issues associated with advanced energy production. ?? Our researchers have found that the fuel created by combining molten chloride salt and uranium together offers additional benefits for reactors to operate without water for cooling, and the ability to refuel while staying operational. Researchers also believe these reactors could generate less waste than traditional nuclear reactors. KTVB News Group interviewed MCRE program director, Nick Smith, this week about the project's capabilities and next steps. Read the full story: ?? https://brnw.ch/21wRjdt

In the three years since they started playing at the Mountain America Center, Idaho Falls residents have taken the Spud Kings to heart. INL Night at the Mountain America Center stacked up the wins, including the Spud Kings team's 6-1 victory! ?? ???? For the second year in a row, the game-worn jerseys were auctioned off to support the Idaho Veterans Chamber of Commerce (IDVCC), a Boise-based nonprofit that helps veterans reintegrate into civilian life. This year's bids brought in over $16k to support the organization! Check it out ?? #SpudKings #hockey #veterans #nonprofit #community #Idaho #IdahoFalls #Boise #INL

Pyrochemistry is the study of chemical reactions at high temperatures, and it's essential for advancing nuclear technologies in molten salt reactors, nuclear fuel recycling and structural materials for harsh environments. ?? At INL's Energy Innovation Laboratory, we have dedicated pyrochemistry labs with unique capabilities for performing this kind of research.

Lynn Wendt, director of INL's Biomass Feedstock User Facility, recently moderated an SXSW panel discussion with experts from key industries involved in scaling technologies for integrated energy systems. ? ? Joined by representatives from Bloom Energy, Enexor BioEnergy and Holtec International, they discussed the integral role of industry and government partnerships to reach goals focused on energy affordability and resiliency in the U.S. Learn more about INL's Biomass Feedstock User Facility ?? https://inl.gov/bfnuf/ #IntegratedEnergy #Biomass #EnergySystems #EnergyDominance #research #energy #science

Municipal drinking water and wastewater systems are vulnerable targets for cyber-attacks, which can cause severe disruptions and contamination risks. To safeguard these critical infrastructures, Idaho is championing Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) in grant proposals for new systems or upgrades. ???? Developed at Idaho National Laboratory, CIE is gaining recognition for enhancing proposal scores and ensuring robust cybersecurity measures. The state of Idaho now prioritizes CIE in submissions, emphasizing that it is both affordable and easy to implement.
