2.1.1 Research and Education Campus<br />

Since 2005, INL’s in-town capabilities have been<br />

consolidated into the REC (Figure 2-2), which<br />

serves as the “front door” to INL and comprises<br />

diverse laboratories supporting research in nuclear<br />

energy, N&HS, and energy and environment. REC<br />

research often supports research underway in<br />

higher-hazard or larger-scale facilities at the other<br />

campuses as well as at U.S. universities and other<br />

national laboratories.<br />

The REC is home to a range of research capabilities<br />

and facilities as well as INL administrative<br />

functions. The Engineering Research Office Building<br />

(EROB) is one of the main office buildings for<br />

INL staff. In the future, a new REL (148,000 ft 2 )<br />

T E N - Y E A R S I T E P L A N INL<br />

will be the NSUF high performance gateway to the<br />

laboratory. It will offer laboratory and office space<br />

for INL scientists and engineers, as well as an<br />

auditorium. REL, pursued under a third-party lease<br />

arrangement, is currently planned for occupancy<br />

and operation in the <strong>2013</strong> timeframe.<br />

In addition, it may be possible for the NSUF to<br />

obtain dedicated space earlier than previously<br />

envisioned in a proposed stand alone facility by<br />

locating dedicated NSUF laboratory and office<br />

space within REL. A decision on whether to pursue<br />

a stand-alone NSUF facility has been deferred<br />

pending completion of the REL facility layout<br />

because it may be possible to locate these capabilities<br />

within REL. Expansion of the REC Office and<br />

Cafeteria, near EROB, is deferred as well.
