Welcome to the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho
Operations Office (DOE-ID). 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.
In partnership with our contractors, local and
regional community, businesses, and other stakeholders,
we have focused our effort over the past several years
on cleaning up the legacy facilities and contamination
at the INL site, and creating new missions focused on
performing research and development in energy programs
and national defense. Our successes have improved the
trust and confidence and support of the community in the
Department of Energy's activities at the INL site.
Our vision is that the INL site will provide
leadership in establishing breakthrough technologies
that will improve our National energy supply needs,
energy independence, and climate improvement strategy.
Specifically, research on new fuel types and materials
for the next generation of nuclear reactors, making
alternative energy supply more efficient, and improving
the security of our energy infrastructure are keys to
success. This strategy is outlined in the
Nuclear Energy
Research and Development Roadmap which will guide our
way.
The 890-square-mile DOE site on the desert 38 miles
west of Idaho Falls and the expansion of research
facilities in town are key National assets that are well
suited to providing the infrastructure and capability to
achieving our vision.
DOE-ID oversees three major contracts to ensure that
operations and research activities are carried out
safely, and in compliance with laws, regulations and
contract provisions. DOE-ID also performs procurement
services for the department, protects and conserves
government property, and performs other inherently
federal functions including compliance with the Freedom
of Information Act and Privacy Act, and tribal and
congressional relations.
We appreciate your interest in our operations, and
welcome your comments and suggestions concerning our
work, as well as this web site. Please feel free to
contact Tim Jackson in our Public Affairs Office at 208-526-8484 with
your comments and questions.
