Research Programs

The pressing challenge for nuclear energy sets the context for INL's strategy. We will create a technically achievable, economically competitive and environmentally sustainable nuclear energy option for the nation that is worthy of public confidence and trust.

Six attributes are critical to our vision:

  • World-leading nuclear science and technology programs;
  • National/Homeland Security, Energy and Environmental programs that leverage our nuclear capabilities;
  • A robust science base;
  • A central role revitalizing nuclear S&T and engineering education in the United States;
  • Extensive collaborations with the world's premier academic, government and industrial nuclear S&T organizations; and
  • Forefront research facilities, support infrastructure and management systems.
