b'5 NUCLEAR SAFETY AND RADIOLOGICAL RESPONSEThe laboratorys desert site can be used for large-scale interagency technology and capability demonstrations. Students and stakeholders also have access to nuclear facilities that include operating reactors, hot cells, and analytical laboratories inside a controlled location that provides a safe and secure environment for training.Radiological Response Training Ranges Moran Nuclear Fuels Test Facility INL has two ranges for radiological search and responseThe Moran test bed is a versatile facility used for various training. At approximately 100 acres each, both the northprograms and interagency missions. Moran facilitates high-and south ranges provide secure, isolated locations toimpact research and training sessions that strengthen nuclear train personnel, test aerial and ground-based sensors, andsecurity. Moran also supports efforts in proliferation detection, develop detection capabilities with radioactive materialscounterproliferation, and other national security applications.under controlled conditions.
