1-16 SECTION 1 OVERVIEW 1.3.3.5 Systems Integration of Natural Resource, Energy, and Ecosystem Utilization Energy production and distribution require the development and use of multiple natural resources (e.g., water, land, minerals, and biomass) and often compete with other important resource uses such as food production, residential development, recreation, and other industrial applications. Ecosystem and regional-level analysis tools based on Geospatial Information Systems and system-dynamics modeling techniques are being developed to analyze energy and natural resource development and use. They also identify systems that address fluctuations in demand and availability of resources and energy in the short and long term. Finally, researchers are developing advanced environmental forensics capabilities to detect trace levels of specific chemicals and other small changes in the environment. 1.3.4 Idaho Cleanup Project The Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) ensures the safe, informed, and judicious use of the INL Site by multiple generations following remediation through decisions and actions that (1) protect human health and the environment from residual contamination, (2) conserve ecological and cultural resources, and (3) respond to regulatory, political, and technological changes. The project involves the safe environmental cleanup of the INL Site, contaminated by conventional weapons testing, government-owned research and defense reactors, laboratory research, and defense missions at other DOE sites. The 7-year, $2.9B cleanup project, funded through DOE-EM, focuses on (1) reducing risks to workers, the public, and the environment and T E N - Y E A R S I T E P L A N INL (2) protecting the Snake River Plain Aquifer, the sole drinking water source for more than 300,000 residents of eastern Idaho. This project is discussed in detail in Appendix C.
I D A H O N A T I O N A L L A B O R A T O R Y TYSP TEN-YEAR END-STATE VISION SECTION 2 2. TEN-YEAR END-STATE VISION The proximity of the ATR and, potentially, the Transient Reactor Experiment and Test Facility (TREAT) to INL’s PIE and characterization capabilities, co-located glovebox lines for experimental fuel development, and co-located separations research facilities provides the foundation for national nuclear energy research at INL. Along with facilities supporting (or capable of supporting) future needs for scale-up testing and demonstrations, these facilities, with targeted investments, should be able to meet the needs of DOE-NE and nuclear energy R&D in general for years to come. Over the last 5 years, INL has advanced research capabilities at the laboratory, beginning with the ATR and continuing with the MFC. At MFC, there has been a major emphasis on the purchase of state-of-the-art PIE equipment and fresh fuel- characterization equipment, as well as modifications to the Fuel Manufacturing Facility (FMF) for ceramic fuel fabrication work. The resulting suite of capabilities will provide DOE, industry, national laboratories, universities, and other federal agencies with the tools required to expand the use of nuclear energy as a critical baseload power source and support N&HS needs. 2.1 Consolidation Around Three Main Campuses Work associated with nuclear energy and other missions takes place at several locations at INL. Currently, nuclear energy R&D capabilities are consolidated around three main campuses: (1) the REC, (2) the ATR Complex, and (3) the MFC (Figure 2-1). Though located in separate areas of the INL Site, these campuses are connected by capability and function. A new road to improve ease of transport of experiments from ATR to MFC should be completed in 2011. INL: The National Nuclear Laboratory Ten-Year End-State Vision • ATR meeting the neutron irradiation needs of the nation • World-class fuel fabrication and characterization capabilities • World-leading PIE capabilities • Meeting transient testing needs of the United States and international research community • Laboratory and integrated laboratory- scale testing of other advanced separations technologies, with planning for engineering scale demonstration • Continued engineering-scale electrochemical separations and waste-form development • Optimized infrastructure to support resident and visiting researchers. The strategic vision for INL builds on the current strength of each campus; investments to modernize each area are designed to create the form, aesthetics, and function of a campus environment that will attract and retain researchers and foster collaboration, communication, and connectivity both internally and with outside experts. A cooperative research environment in town will be facilitated by contemporary office space integrated with modeling and simulation capabilities, lower-hazard laboratory space acquired under lease arrangements, and data links between nuclear energy R&D capabilities in town and those at the MFC. 2-1
