Idaho National Laboratory is a Department of Energy multi-program national laboratory with missions to advance the nuclear energy technologies, enable clean energy deployment, and secure critical infrastructure. This presentation will describe the laboratory's distinctive capabilities to conduct research, development, testing and demonstrations of advanced technology solutions to the nation's most difficult security challenges. Capability topics include:  nuclear nonproliferation (e.g., safeguards, nuclear and radiological detection,  and emergency response); and critical infrastructure protection (e.g., cybersecurity, electric grid resilience, wireless communications assurance, and ballistic/blast protection.) This presentation also will include laboratory opportunities for internships, graduate fellowships, post doc assignments, and joint appointments.
