摘要

The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Research Center located in Idaho Falls is a focal point for a basic research in biotechnology, chemical sciences, environmental and earth sciences, material sciences, physics and electronic engineering. The Site is a center for basic nuclear physics and radiochemistry research, nuclear reactor safety research, defense programs, nuclear waste technology, and development of advanced energy concepts. Established in 1949, the INEL contains the largest concentration of nuclear reactors in the world. Current general research activities include work on nuclear fission energy, nuclear fusion energy, geothermal energy, low-head hydropower, industrial energy conservation, and basic energy sciences. This paper discusses the current research objectives and projects at INEL. 1 fig.
