Nuclear & Radiological Activity Center
Ensuring the Safety and Protection of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Nuclear & Radiological Activity Center (NRAC) programs provide access to special nuclear materials, unique infrastructure, capabilities and nuclear expertise.
As more countries embrace nuclear power as a cost-effective and clean alternative to fossil fuels, the need exists to ensure that the nuclear fuel cycle is safe and proliferation-resistant. INL works with our program sponsors to develop technologies and systems to prevent the illicit production, acquisition, transport and use of harmful nuclear materials and technology.
Nuclear & Radiological Activity Center (NRAC) is where nuclear research, technology evaluation and training capabilities come together to provide access and support to nuclear nonproliferation programs.
INL’s radiological facilities and an expansive site provide an unprecedented environment for research, demonstration and realistic training exercises aligned with today’s national security challenges. NRAC programs offer unprecedented adaptability with access to special nuclear materials, unique infrastructure, capabilities and nuclear expertise.
