NUC engages in collaborative research to strengthen the portfolios of INL and the universities with the goal of furthering the nation’s strategic nuclear energy objectives, efficient energy initiatives, and critical infrastructure security goals.
Create a laboratory component that stimulates technology discovery and time scales beyond the constraints of current DOE missions, while establishing strong partnerships with the university research community.
Grow technology leadership reputation while building long-term capabilities, tools and techniques to advance nuclear technology.
Establish links with NUC universities that will stimulate innovation and technical excellence, and a source of high-quality future employees.
