The INSE collaborates with the following facilities: Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a science-based, applied engineering national laboratory dedicated to meeting the nation's environmental, energy, nuclear technology, and national security needs. The INL is a multiprogram, federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) emphasizing applied engineering to provide solutions for use across the DOE complex, as well as regionally, nationally, and world wide. The INL is operated for the DOE by the Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA). Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) is a unique research facility located in southeast Idaho at Idaho State University. It provides opportunities for nuclear physics research and development by creating partnerships with scientists and engineers in the government, university, and private sector that are designed to make advances and practical applications in the nuclear and radiations sciences. Research projects at the Idaho National Laboratory: Designated by Department of Energy (DOE) as lead laboratory for Nuclear Reactor Technology Work one-on-one with professionals in the field Perform research at state-of-the-art national lab facilities: Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Hot Fuel Examination Facility (HFEF) Fuel Conditioning Facility (FCF) Remote Analytical Laboratory and Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (RAL and ACL) INSE research plan is in step with DOE's long-term nuclear research goals in: Proliferation resistant reactor and fuel cycle technologies that reduce plutonium and waste build-up Advanced reactor design to improve performance, safety and economics, proliferation resistance, ease of development by utilizing new core concepts, and potential direct conversion schemes. Technologies for waste storage concerning transport, separation science, waste characterization and integrity. Advanced nuclear fuel in the aspects of safety, burn up and proliferation resistance. Fundamental nuclear science in materials, chemical science, nuclear physics, and health physics.
