Changing the world’s energy future and securing our nation's critical infrastructure ⚛️
About us
In operation since 1949, Idaho National Laboratory is a science-based, applied engineering national laboratory dedicated to supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's missions in energy research, nuclear science and national defense. The world's first usable amount of electricity from nuclear energy was generated here in 1951. At 890 square miles (569,135 acres), the INL Site is roughly 85 percent the size of Rhode Island. In addition to our geographic resources, the lab hosts a variety of unique facilities, including the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility. Complementing our nuclear research, the lab has numerous alternative energy and national security programs. Robotics, wind power, high-performance computing, biofuels, critical infrastructure protection, carbon management and advanced vehicle testing are just a few examples of our multifaceted research capabilities.

Small modular reactors could be ideal to recharge large vehicles, like electric semi-trucks, according to a University of Michigan study supported by INL’s Emerging Energy Markets Analysis. 🔋⚡ Most EV studies assume electricity will always come from the electric grid. This was the first study to consider small modular reactors and other distributed energy resources, including microreactors and hydrogen, as energy sources.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥-𝗜 𝗕𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗔 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗖 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 On this day in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson dedicated Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I) as a National Historic Landmark. A crowd of more than 12,000 people attended the dedication to cement the reactor’s legacy as the birthplace of usable nuclear energy. ⚛️💡 “On this very spot, the United States produced the world’s first [usable] electricity from nuclear energy. This energy is to propel the machines of progress, to light our cities and our towns, to fire our factories, to provide new sources of fresh water, and to really help us solve the mysteries of outer space as it brightens our life on this planet. What happened here merely raised the curtain on a promising drama in our long journey for a better life.” – President Lyndon B.
