Known as the nation’s nuclear laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory is not as widely recognized for its leadership in battery research. Yet, INL experts have conducted energy storage systems research for four decades of the lab’s 75-year history, almost as long as the nation has invested in electric vehicle technologies. In [...]

Yet, INL experts have conducted energy storage systems research for four decades of the lab’s 75-year history, almost as long as the nation has invested in electric vehicle technologies. In 1976, Congress passed the Electric […]
In July 2022, amidst a mechanical hum and complicated array of equipment filled with technicolor liquids, newly hired chemical engineering intern Rachel Umpleby learned, hands-on, about solvent extraction at one of Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) many pilot programs. What’s more, she was learning from experienced aqueous separations and radiochemistry scientists, [...]

Utilities with hydroelectric power generation need solid data for day-to-day operations and long-term planning. So, when managers at Idaho Falls Power wanted to explore the potential of their power generation assets, they turned to Idaho National Laboratory for help. Because of location, the pairing is a natural one. Idaho Falls [...]
