Students invited to explore STEM at Family Nuclear Science Night As Idaho National Laboratory celebrates its 75th anniversary, the laboratory is partnering with the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History to host the national event for Nuclear Science Week, a weeklong celebration of how nuclear science improves our lives. INL invites local students and […]
Deslonde de Boisblanc (1923-2009) was an inventive engineer from New Orleans who played a key role in nuclear reactor design, notably the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. Despite not having a Ph.D. or prior experience with nuclear reactors, his innovative clover-leaf design allows multiple experiments on various fuels [...]
Deslonde de Boisblanc (1923-2009) was an inventive engineer from New Orleans who played a key role in nuclear reactor design, notably the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. Despite not having a Ph.D. or prior experience with nuclear reactors, his innovative clover-leaf design allows multiple experiments on various fuels and materials simultaneously at different […]
The potential for remote operation and autonomous control, which could improve operational efficiency and reduce risk, is a major selling point for some advanced nuclear technologies. Take microreactors, for example. These small nuclear reactors are designed to be able to operate independently from the electric grid with limited local operating [...]
The potential for remote operation and autonomous control, which could improve operational efficiency and reduce risk, is a major selling point for some advanced nuclear technologies. Take microreactors, for example. These small nuclear reactors are designed to be able to operate independently from the electric grid with limited local operating assistance — an exciting notion […]
Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) stands as a lasting monument to an innovative idea born on a twilight ride home across the Snake River Plain. The word “cloverleaf” best describes ATR’s innovative core design. Early nuclear engineers built ATR to improve fuel performance in the U.S. Navy’s [...]
Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) stands as a lasting monument to an innovative idea born on a twilight ride home across the Snake River Plain. The word “cloverleaf” best describes ATR’s innovative core design. Early nuclear engineers built ATR to improve fuel performance in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear fleet. Fifty-seven years later, […]
Jisong Ryu, Jhanavi Hegde and Chance Krueger are winners of the 2024 Bright Future in Energy Scholarship Competition. Ryu, Hegde and Krueger impressed the judges with standout research and presentations, which focused on how nuclear energy and carbon capture technologies could move the nation closer to net-zero emissions. Ryu, a [...]

As 17 students from three states headed back to school this fall, they took with them a broad array of knowledge they picked up this summer at Idaho National Laboratory’s Clean Energy Camp. The camp, which ran from June 24 to June 27, offered high school students interested in science, [...]
As 17 students from three states headed back to school this fall, they took with them a broad array of knowledge they picked up this summer at Idaho National Laboratory’s Clean Energy Camp. The camp, which ran from June 24 to June 27, offered high school students interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) […]
GOLDEN, Colo. – Over 40 clean energy scientists and engineers from Idaho National Laboratory (INL) traveled to Golden, Colorado, on Sept. 3 for a two-day exploration of innovations in science and technology with students and faculty of the Colorado School of Mines (Mines). Under an agreement signed last fall, the [...]

Builders typically rely on a set of printed, complicated blueprints at the job site to communicate complex architectural building designs. But blueprints don’t always work, especially when there are multiple iterations of the same plan with different pieces of information across multiple sheets. Builders are often left interpreting the designer’s [...]
Builders typically rely on a set of printed, complicated blueprints at the job site to communicate complex architectural building designs. But blueprints don’t always work, especially when there are multiple iterations of the same plan with different pieces of information across multiple sheets. Builders are often left interpreting the designer’s intent rather than building per […]
A team of electric vehicle (EV) researchers and stakeholders has released recommendations designed to help the industry improve the charging experience for EV owners. In the new Customer-Focused Key Performance Indicators for Electric Vehicle Charging report, the National Charging Experience Consortium, or ChargeX Consortium, defined two sets of recommended key [...]

In 2021, Idaho National Laboratory committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2031. But reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions at an organization the size of INL is no easy task. The laboratory occupies a space roughly 85% the size of Rhode Island. In terms of people and infrastructure — roughly [...]
