In case you missed it: In support of global security initiatives, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) recently hosted a nuclear forensics training exercise at Idaho National Laboratory. ?? ?? During the event, scientists from several Department of Energy sites and laboratories provided hands-on instruction and training to officials from Ukraine. Exercises like this are vital for teaching participants how to collect, analyze and transport evidence that can be used to trace the origins of nuclear materials to their source and hold those involved in nuclear terrorism accountable.

Social media influencer and science educator Kyle Hill recently visited INL, and got an inside look at the next generation of nuclear reactors. Take a look as he shares his thoughts on microreactors – compact and portable nuclear reactors envisioned to provide carbon-free power to support energy-intensive industrial processes, military bases and remote communities. ?? Microreactors, like INL's MARVEL (short for Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation), will be used to help industry partners demonstrate applications, evaluate systems for remote monitoring and develop autonomous control technologies for new reactors.

INL is proud to collaborate with the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory to integrate CIE into the U.S. energy infrastructure, acting on the approaches outlined in U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2022 National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy. ?? ? Over the past two years, CESER has transitioned CIE from a strategic approach to an industry-led practice, with a growing library of resources and tools that are influencing infrastructure design, engineering education and standards implementation.

?????? ?????? ????????? ?? Hydropower, or electricity generated from water flow, generates ~28.7% of U.S. renewable power. INL researchers are proving economical and feasible ways hydropower and energy storage can be combined to make hydropower a reliable energy source, regardless of water levels. In essence, an energy storage system can act as a virtual reservoir, making it possible for a run-of-river hydropower plant to adjust the amount of power it puts on the grid.

In the past decade, INL has repeatedly demonstrated to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the nuclear industry that we can complete large, complicated nuclear projects on time and under budget. ?? Rigorous planning and communicating clearly with capable contractors and subcontractors have been key to the lab's ability to deliver on big nuclear jobs.
