The nation's nuclear energy research laboratory. (RTs are not endorsements)
- We are honored to have been a part @MadiHilly’s maternity photoshoot @INL! ⚛️🤰 Did you know? Since the first dry casks in the U.S. were loaded in 1986, no radiation (that could impact the public or environment) has been released. More on her visit ⬇️
- The nation's current pile of spent fuel rods contains enough #energy to power the #electricGrid for about 100 years, per a projection from @INL expert Jess Gehin.⚛️ Once removed from #nuclear reactors, fuel rods retain over 90% of their potential energy. co2coalition.org/2024/05/18/the…
- .@Grace_Stanke, @MissAmerica 2023, has spent an amazing day with us here @INL visiting with students and employees, and touring our #research capabilities at the lab. Did you know she is an advocate for nuclear energy? ⚛️
- Microreactors could be a cost-effective way to provide heat and electricity to remote communities in #Alaska, according to a new analysis: fal.cn/3knc4 #nuclear #microreactor #research #energy #technology
- We have all heard of #ElfOnTheShelf, but have you heard of 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿? ⚛️ 🎄 No need to move a #microreactor every night, no mischief…just reliable, #CarbonFree power for years to come! 🔗 inl.gov/trending-topic… @GovNuclear @ENERGY#energy #research
00:00 - In 1961, in the desert of #Idaho, the @USArmy created a #nuclear plant so portable it could be moved by truck. Six decades later, we're reviving their vision of atomic power on the go. Full length video here ⚛️ youtube.com/watch?v=e9KnqS… #Microreactor #INL75 @GovNuclear
00:00 - Following a 7️⃣-month journey, @NASAPersevere has successfully touched down on #Mars! Powered by a #nuclear power source assembled and tested @INL, this rover has an exciting expedition ahead! Learn more ➡️ inl.gov/mars-2020/ #CountdownToMars #PoweringPerseverance #Mars2020
00:00 - SMALL BUT MIGHTY ⚛️ Small modular reactors' compact designs and flexible deployment options offer a safe, reliable and cost-effective source of #cleanEnergy. Learn more about how they work ➡️ inl.gov/trending-topic… @ENERGY @GovNuclear #nuclear #energy #tech #research
- NUCLEAR FACTS ⬇️ ⚛️ ⬇️ There are 445 #nuclear power reactors currently operating in 30 countries. Plus, about 50 reactors are under construction. Learn more about @INL's nuclear #research: inl.gov/research-progr… #science #energy #technology #cleanEnergy
- Christine King is joining INL as the director of Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear ⚛️. With GAIN she will be connecting the advanced nuclear community with the resources that will help make the next generation of clean energy a reality. 📰 bit.ly/2sRzXn8

00:00 - For #microreactors to gain a foothold in niche markets, developers will need to meet needs while keeping costs affordable. A new @INL report shows how performance & manufacturing targets can help #reactor companies offer competitive microreactors: fal.cn/3jOm0
- BIG NEWS in #microreactors⚛️ INL provides @oklo the opportunity to reuse fuel materials for the demonstration of the Oklo Aurora advanced fission plant -- a small #cleanenergy powerhouse that can be used in remote or off-grid locations to generate power. inl.gov/article/inl-se…
