Nuclear Science Week

Each year organizations around the world observe Nuclear Science Week, celebrating all the ways nuclear science improves our lives. In conjunction with Idaho National Laboratory’s 75th anniversary, this year the lab is hosting the national event for Nuclear Science Week in partnership with the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. We will hold a variety of activities on and around that week.
