2-10 SECTION 2 TEN-YEAR END-STATE VISION however, the data are not mature enough to include in the TYSP. All proposed projects are subject to NEPA documentation. Sustainability concepts will be incorporated in all INL campus planning activities to the maximum extent practicable with the express purpose of meeting operational and mission needs with high performance sustainable buildings. 2.4 Idaho National Laboratory Sustainability and Energy Management Program INL has institutionalized a program to implement sustainable practices in facility design and operation, procurement, and program operations that meet the requirements of Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance; DOE Order 430.2B, Departmental Energy, Renewable Energy, and Transportation Management; DOE Order 450.1A, Environmental Protection Program; the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (DOE 2010b); and the SSP (DOE-ID 2010). The INL Sustainability Program seeks to achieve measurable and verifiable energy, water, and greenhouse gas reductions; responsible use and disposal of materials and resources; and cost-effective facilities, services, and program management. The goal of the INL Sustainability Program is to promote economic, environmental, and social sustainability for INL, helping to ensure its long-term success and viability as a premier DOE national laboratory. INL has a detailed strategy and plan captured in the SSP. Developed in accordance with DOE Orders and the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan, the SSP provides the roadmap and specific actions needed to meet the department’s sustainability goals. The annual update to the SSP will be prepared in accordance with the new DOE T E N - Y E A R S I T E P L A N INL Order 436.1, Departmental Sustainability. INL continues to mature its comprehensive leadership strategy to address the execution gaps identified in Appendix D, specifically to refine the planned investment strategy necessary to meet its goals. The current sustainability strategy is focused on leadership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by changing how and what resources are consumed (e.g., energy, water, fuel, electronics, and other consumables) and, thereby, achieve the department’s sustainability goals for INL. The strategy focuses on: • Changing behaviors as consumers • Investing in internal research and development to deploy innovative solutions to sustainability • Leveraging third-party investments to adopt new and/or proven sustainable technologies and to recapitalize infrastructure • Partnering to demonstrate and deploy innovative sustainable practices • Committing to sustainable technologies in purchasing and acquisition decisions. A full description of the INL Sustainability and Energy Management Program and its associated goals, progress, and requirements, including additional details on how INL plans to implement the Sustainability Program are provided in Appendix D. INL will incorporate current and emerging leadership strategies in future Ten-Year Site Plans.
I D A H O N A T I O N A L L A B O R A T O R Y TYSP CORE CAPABILITIES SECTION 3 3. IDAHO NATIONAL LABORATORY CORE CAPABILITIES INL retains core nuclear energy R&D capabilities in irradiation testing, PIE, fuel fabrication, advanced separations, waste form development, and final assembly and testing of radioisotope power systems. These capabilities require the use of reactors, hot cells, and other specialized laboratory facilities that are able to support research using highly radioactive materials; they are essential to DOE-NE research and accessible to the broader nuclear energy R&D community. Therefore, INL is proposing a strategy of incremental investments, building on the substantial sunk investment in research facilities with advanced tools and instruments that are unique to DOE-NE R&D and that distinguish INL as a national center for reactor and fuel cycle RD&D. Part of this strategy is to retain capabilities at the CAES facility and in space within the new REL building to enable INL and visiting researchers to collaborate more effectively, with research taking place at the MFC. INL also retains capabilities in critical infrastructure protection; nuclear nonproliferation; energy, environment, and fundamental research; and engineering. Table 5-1 in Section 5 summarizes the strategy described below for establishing world-leading capabilities at the laboratory and integrating them to support the development of fuel, reactor, and fuel cycle technologies. 3.1 Steady-State Irradiation 3.1.1 Thermal-Spectrum Irradiation The ATR is a material test reactor with thermal neutron fluxes of 1 × 10 15 neutron/cm 2 -sec and maximum fast (E>0.1 MeV) neutron fluxes of 5 × 10 14 neutrons/cm 2 -sec. These fluxes, combined with its 77 irradiation positions, make the ATR a versatile and unique thermal irradiation facility. The reactor accommodates static, sealed capsule tests with passive instrumentation, tests with active instrumentation for measurement and control of specific testing parameters, and pressurized water loops. A new hydraulic shuttle irradiation system installed in 2008 allows for short-duration irradiation tests, and a new Test Train Assembly Facility (4,200 ft 2 ) opened in 2009 to support the precision work associated with experiment assembly for insertion in the reactor. The purpose of the ATR-C facility, located in an extension of the ATR canal, is to evaluate prototypical experiments before they take place so that researchers can understand the effects on ATR core reactivity. The ATR-C is a full-size, low-power, pool-type nuclear replica of the ATR. Its normal operating power level is approximately 100 W, with a maximum power rating of 5 kW. Improving ATR capabilities and operational reliability has been an INL priority since the beginning of the current M&O contract. In addition, this year, in response to the Fukushima nuclear plant accident, DOE allocated additional funds to accelerate planned defense-in-depth retrofits related to the primary coolant system, heat exchanger supports, and modification of a wall in the control room and instrumentation for the fuel storage canal. Establishing the ATR NSUF has brought a sustained focus on enabling high-quality experiments through improved experiment design, control, and instrumentation to achieve capabilities that compare to, if not exceed, top test reactors worldwide. Improved instrumentation is a key aspect of this capability, and the continual deployment of new sensors at ATR enables better experimental control and data acquisition from important scientific investigations, such as embrittlement behavior 3-1
