Welcome to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho Operations Office
home page. We are pleased that you have chosen to visit our Internet site
and encourage you to explore the information provided. You may also contact
us directly if you have further information needs or interests that are not
covered in this web site.
Under the purview of the DOE, Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID), the Idaho
National Laboratory (INL) is home to the largest concentration of technical
professionals in the Rocky Mountain region. The move to NE supports the
nation’s expanding nuclear energy initiatives, placing the INL at the center
of work to develop advanced Generation IV nuclear energy systems; nuclear
energy/hydrogen co-production technology; advanced nuclear energy fuel cycle
technologies and providing national security answers to national
infrastructure needs.
Today, the INL and DOE-ID support many DOE program offices and federal
agencies. The Site hosts the National Nuclear Security Agency’s Naval
Reactors Facility (NRF) and the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration and the United States Geological Survey maintains an active presence.
It is also a National Environmental Research Park, one of only seven in the
nation.
As we tackle the energy problem by advancing nuclear energy technology,
through safe working practices and with great respect for the environment,
we will continue to listen to the public’s concerns. It is my desire, as in
the past, to develop personal relationships with our stakeholders,
regulators and area-Tribal Nations. I plan to meet personally with those
entities throughout the region over the next year.
We appreciate your interest and welcome your questions and comments
concerning our web site and/or the programs at our laboratory.
