Last week, we kicked off the 2025 cohort of the OT Defender Fellowship. ?? This highly-selective educational program, created, funded and led by the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) for middle- and senior-level operational technology (OT) cybersecurity managers in the energy sector. They are provided the opportunity to learn about the strategies used to target our energy infrastructure and the cybersecurity tools and research the U.S. government is developing to counter them. Protecting the nation’s energy infrastructure from modern threats is vital to maintaining national security, a vibrant economy, and public health and safety.

INL is partnering with GeoBitmine LLC., an eastern Idaho startup dedicated to harnessing the waste heat generated by data centers – one of fastest growing areas of America’s technology sector. ?? ???? The company aims to integrate small server farms with hydroponic greenhouse farming, using heat from the servers to maintain optimal growing conditions year-round. We're offering technical feedback to maximize GeoBitmine's positive impact on the regional energy landscape.

Did you know Idaho National Laboratory has sponsored and hosted a regional National Science Bowl competition for 35 years? ?? ???? This year, more than 45 Idaho teams went head-to-head in several grueling rounds of a round-robin-style competition. Join us in congratulating Twin Falls High School and Malad Middle School for earning first place in the high school and middle school categories, respectively. Both teams will head to Washington, D.C., in April to compete against other teams from across the U.S. “The science bowl offers a fun, fast-paced environment where students of different ages can show their intelligence in math and science.” — Steve Zollinger, Eastern Idaho Science Bowl coordinator Learn more about the National Science Bowl and our STEM program: https://lnkd.in/ec-dZmU https://lnkd.in/gUfujNfD U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) TWIN FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 411 #NationalScienceBowl #STEM #competition #education #science #INL #ScienceBowl #Idaho

Researchers at the INL-led Center for Thermal Energy Transport under Irradiation (TETI) have published their 100th paper—a significant milestone for this team! ?? Their first paper was published in IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine in April 2019. TETI is one of 44 Energy Frontier Research Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Science, and includes nine institutions and over 30 researchers. Their work in fundamental science has significant implications for nuclear fuel performance codes being developed for advanced reactors. ??

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded $12.5 million to FuelCell Energy and INL to support a project integrating hydrogen production and nuclear power. FuelCell Energy designed and manufactured a new, ready-to-go modular solid oxide electrolysis system, and recently delivered it to INL's Energy Systems Laboratory for testing and validation. This is the largest solid oxide electrolyzer ever tested at INL and the first fully integrated electrolysis platform demonstrated at INL. ?? The testing phase is expected to last for about one year, including a variety of tests to measure how efficiently the electrolysis system can split steam into hydrogen.

In 1951, Experimental Breeder Reactor-I generated the first usable amounts of power from nuclear energy. ???????? ? This National Historic Landmark, located at Idaho National Laboratory's desert Site, has been preserved as a tourist destination, open every year between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Check it out ??

Nuclear energy is a pivotal part of America's secure energy future. ?? U.S. Sen. Jim Risch emphasizes the importance of preserving our current nuclear infrastructure while improving our ability to develop, deploy and commercialize advanced reactor technologies. Idaho National Laboratory is proud to lead the charge in research and innovation.

Volunteers from our Team INL Program spent an evening packing over 200 meal bags for kids on spring break. ?? ?? During school breaks, kids that rely on free breakfast and lunch at school can miss out on regular, nutritious meals. So, United Way of Eastern Idaho steps up to send these kids home with easy-to-prepare, healthy foods. United Way also ran its "Power of $10" fundraiser to help purchase food for this program and INL employees donated over $1,100!

Meet Andrew Johnson ?? He's a nuclear engineering major from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, who drove ~2,000 miles and 34 hours to join us at Idaho National Laboratory as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) Program. ?? He shares what inspired him to apply to the program and, among all of the national laboratories, choose INL. WATCH ??
