22-Dec-2025 Celebrating INL’s legacy of innovation DOE/Idaho National Laboratory The Idaho National Laboratory has changed the world for more than 75 years through work in nuclear energy, national security and other innovative technologies. From early nuclear reactor demonstrations to establishing tomorrow’s robust electrical grid, here are 10 of the most impactful INL achievements that benefit our nation and the world:
22-Dec-2025 Idaho lab produces first-ever fuel for fast molten salt reactor experiment, opening door to maritime commercial reactor deployment DOE/Idaho National Laboratory Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE)—the world’s first test of a molten chloride salt fast reactor.
22-Dec-2025 Military academy alumni reflect on service and leadership at INL ahead of Army-Navy game DOE/Idaho National Laboratory The 2025 Army-Navy college football game kicks off Dec. 13 in Baltimore, Maryland, continuing one of America’s most storied rivalries. First played in 1890, Army-Navy has endured through wars, peace and generations of cadets and midshipmen. Army-Navy stands apart as more than game — it’s a national tradition that honors service and sacrifice. Every player on the field has taken an oath to defend the nation with their lives. Its traditions embody duty, discipline and respect between rivals who serve the same nation.
22-Dec-2025 Solid-state ionics: Review article reveals structural blueprint for superionic conductors Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University A 2024 review by Sau, Orimo, and co-workers reveals universal design principles for fast ion conductors by organizing materials according to their structural frameworks rather than chemical composition. This approach identifies key features—3D interstitial networks, polarizable lattices, cooperative ion motion—that enable solid electrolytes to achieve liquid-like ionic conductivities, advancing all-solid-state battery development.
