Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Idaho National Laboratory ( INL) was founded in 1949
as the National Reactor Testing Station to provide an
isolated location where various kinds of nuclear reactors and support facilities could be built and
tested. Fifty-
two test reactors were constructed at the INL over the years. In 1974, the site was renamed a national
engineering laboratory to reflect its expanding application of applied science and engineering capabilities.
As it
responded to the realities of the post-Cold War world, the INL turned its expertise to become a leader
in
providing technology for environmental management and research. Today, INL's staff has a broad range
of
expertise in the engineering of large-scale process, detection systems, law enforcement, chemistry,
nuclear
security systems, sensors, communication and computing, biotechnology, and in a variety of other science
and
engineering areas.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The mission of the INL is to:
-
Deliver science-based, engineered solutions
to the challenges of DOE's mission areas, other federal
agencies, and industrial clients.
- Complete environmental cleanup responsibly, using innovative
science and engineering capabilities.
- Provide leadership and support to optimize the value
of EM investments and strategic partnerships
throughout the DOE complex.
- Enhance scientific and technical talent, facilities,
and equipment to best serve national and regional
interests.
