The HI-TEST Facility @INL is where @holtecintl's SMR-300 #NuclearReactor's future is being proven. Two test loops, prototypic conditions and real scenarios are keeping the system dedication on track. ⚛️ This is how you build next-gen #nuclear. Watch ⬇️ youtu.be/Z8qmAmTw0sk

#Nuclear milestone: @INL, @UofIllinois Urbana‑Champaign & @LifeAtPurdue achieved remote & autonomous operation of a #NuclearReactor – a low-power university reactor – showing how #AI, digital twins & #HighPerformanceComputing can benefit future reactors. inl.gov/news-release/r…

At 6-foot-8, Tanner Mauseth stands out – so does his work @INL.🔬 Mauseth uses advanced microscopes and precision testing tools to study irradiated #nuclear material, support #NuclearResearch and train the next generation of scientists. Read more ➡️ inl.gov/feature-story/…

ICYMI: @INL proudly hosted @SecretaryWright to celebrate executive orders signed last May to accelerate advanced #NuclearReactors achieving criticality. Watch the recap! ⚛️⬇️ More on our #nuclear research: inl.gov/nuclear-energy… inl.gov/nuclear-energy/ @ENERGY @GovNuclear

Three new reactors @INL add to a #nuclear legacy that now includes a total of 55 reactors, spanning more than 75 years.⚛️ From historic firsts to the latest generation of advanced reactors, our page highlights them all: inl.gov/history/reacto… #NuclearEnergy #NuclearRenaissance

Our #cybersecurity capabilities support @ENERGY in fortifying #NationalSecurity against modern cyberthreats targeting IT systems, #OperationalTechnology & infrastructure. @INL's Sean McAraw identifies three imperatives for senior leaders & policymakers. linkedin.com/pulse/invisibl…

The origin of @INL's Neutron Radiography Reactor is #PuertoRico, where it operated until 1974. Its fuel elements, core components & radiography beam lines were then moved to #Idaho.⚛️ In 1977, NRAD achieved criticality and became a key asset. Learn more: inl.gov/document/neutr…

.@AaloAtomics' Aalo-X reactor achieved criticality, becoming the 55th reactor @INL & 4th advanced reactor to go critical by July 4. Congrats! 🇺🇸 INL supported with procedure development, facility construction, operations support, fuel management, environmental compliance & more.

FOUR REACTORS CRITICAL BY THE 4TH! 🎉 On July 4 at 12:19 AM MDT, @AaloAtomics’ Aalo-X microreactor achieved initial criticality at @INL, marking the fourth @ENERGY-authorized reactor to go critical this year. Congratulations to Aalo Atomics on reaching this historic milestone!

Red, white & glowing BLUE! 🇺🇸 ⚛️ The celebration of American innovation continues. #NuclearEnergy is at the core of @INL research & our Advanced Test Reactor’s world-famous blue glow is a fitting tribute to the spirit of innovation. inl.gov/advanced-test-… #America250 #Nuclear

.@INL was honored to be part of the @IdahoFallsGov #4thOfJuly parade today & celebrate with friends & neighbors.🇺🇸 We’re proud to call Idaho Falls home & hope everyone has enjoyed #IndependenceDay celebrations as much as we have! inl.gov #America250 #Community

.@INL celebrates #America250 by helping achieve a record-breaking milestone of advanced #NuclearReactor criticalities by the #4thOfJuly!🇺🇸⚡️ The U.S. is the first nation to achieve criticality in this many novel systems in a single month. Let's go! inl.gov

Happy 1️⃣3️⃣6️⃣th birthday, #Idaho! 🎉 @INL is proud to call the Gem State home to the impactful #research benefiting our state and the nation. Learn more: inl.gov #Nuclear #Energy #AI #NationalSecurity

.@EnergyUnderSec visited @INL, touring facilities & meeting with experts to learn about the advanced #NuclearReactors on track for criticality this summer, HALEU fuel production, #CriticalMinerals processing, #AI-accelerated #nuclear & cyber defense.⚡🇺🇸 inl.gov

This milestone also marks the first criticality under the newly established @NRICnuclear Nuclear Energy Launch Pad — the follow-on initiative to @ENERGY's Reactor Pilot Program designed to accelerate commercial deployment of advanced #nuclear. #NuclearRenaissance #NuclearEnergy

.@DeployableE's demonstration reactor, Unity, achieved criticality, helping meet the goal set by executive orders to have at least three advanced #NuclearReactors critical by July 4th. Congrats! ⚛️👏 @ENERGY @NRICnuclear #NuclearEnergy #America250 #NuclearRenaissance
