INL's isolated location paired with DOE's significant investment in infrastructure created an ideal situation for those interested in full-scale wireless research. With a decade of experience in the operation of national security and critical infrastructure test ranges, INL offers a credible and integrated approach to solve national challenges.Industrial ResearchersFederal ResearchersAcademic Researchers_5c8ccdba-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69BiomassCreate commodity-scale feed-stocks from native biomass._de08c46a-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db692Biomass Feedstock National User FacilityBioenergy research at the Biomass Feedstock National User Facility (BFNUF) is focused on creating commodity-scale feed-stocks from native biomass that meet the needs of producers of biofuels, bipower, and other bioproducts. Facilities include bench-scale to pilot-production preprocessing units for biomass drying, size and ash reduction, blending and densification, and laboratories for physical and chemical analyses of biomass and engineered biomass feedstocks.Biofuels ProducersBipower ProducersBioproducts Producers_5c8cd058-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Metal & Ceramic PowdersAllow researchers to combine metal and ceramic powders to produce new materials._de08c550-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db693Advanced Materials LabThe Advanced Materials Lab contains a Spark Plasma Sintering system, which allows researchers to combine metal and ceramic powders to produce new materials._5c8cd242-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Neutron IrradiationProvide large-volume, high-flux neutron irradiation in a prototype environment._de08c5fa-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db694ATRThe ATR is the only U.S. research reactor capable of providing large-volume, high-flux neutron irradiation in a prototype environment, and the reactor makes it possible to study the effects of intense neutron and gamma radiation on reactor materials and fuels. ATR has many uses, supporting a variety of government and privately sponsored research._5c8cd620-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Reactor, Irradiation & BeamlinesProvide external research teams access to reactor, post-irradiation examination, and beamline capabilities._de08c69a-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db695Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User FacilityThe Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility (ATR NSUF) is one of a growing number of DOE User Facilities in the US, and is the nation's only designated nuclear energy User Facility. Through a peer-reviewed proposal process, ATR NSUF provides external research teams cost-free access to reactor, post-irradiation examination, and beamline capabilities at INL and a diverse mix of affiliated partner institutions at universities, national laboratories and industry facilities located across the country.Researchers_5c8cd8aa-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Virtual EnvironmentAllow scientists and engineers to literally walk into their data and examine it._de08c73a-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db696Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation (CAMS)ScientistsEngineersThe laboratory contains a four-walled 3D computer assisted virtual environment -- or CAVE TM -- that allows scientists and engineers to literally walk into their data and examine it. It also houses an IQ-Station, a portable 3-D system designed by staff at Idaho National Laboratory's Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation (CAMS)._5c8ce372-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Materials CharacterizationProvides materials characterization capabilities._de08c7e4-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db697Microscopy and Characterization SuiteThe Microscopy and Characterization Suite (MaCS) is a state-of-the-art materials characterization laboratory that provides cross-cutting capabilities that support the Center for Advanced Energy Studies' (CAES) mission in multiple initiative areas. MaCS is largely made possible through its partnership with the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility (ATR NSUF).Center for Advanced Energy StudiesAdvanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility_5c8ce53f-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Wireless Sensor NetworksInvestigate vulnerabilities of wireless sensor networks._de08c88e-3961-11e4-a843-550c7a66db698Instrument Repair ShopThe Instrument Repair Shop is primarily used by researchers who are investigating vulnerabilities of wireless sensor networks such as the one at CAES.
