@INL joins the nation in honoring our heroes this Veterans Day.🇺🇲
Veterans are key to INL's success, making up at least 8% of our workforce. We thank those who have served in our nation’s armed forces.
Your talent is valuable. Explore INL opportunities: inl.gov/careers/veterans/
ICYMI: @INL is advancing HALEU fuel for next-gen nuclear reactors. But what is HALEU?
It's uranium with more U-235 than conventional fuel. HALEU can fuel smaller reactors and last longer. Watch!⬇️

What do your parents really do at work? @INL asked kids at Family Nuclear Science Night to explain their parents’ jobs, then let the parents tell us what they actually do.
Watch to see who got it right ⬇️

@INL proudly supports Prometheus, an innovative @ENERGY Genesis Mission initiative to accelerate nuclear energy deployment applying super intelligence (aka artificial intelligence/AI), engineering models & advanced computing across the reactor lifecycle.
inl.gov/super-intelligence/p…
The @ENERGY’s #GenesisMission is an ambitious bet: AI can accelerate scientific discovery and the deployment of advanced nuclear systems.
Realizing that ambition will require new approaches to ensuring increasingly autonomous systems behave as intended.
At #AtalantaAssembly, Gopal Sarma, Greg Shannon of @INL, Nate Stone of Triastron, and Doug Ghormley of @SandiaLabs explored how Software Understanding and formal verification can help preserve human control and build public trust.
National STEM Day highlights the next generation of problem solvers exploring science, technology, engineering & math at @INL.🔬⚡
Our K-12 STEM team works with teachers, families & tribal partners in the classroom to turn curiosity into opportunity.

@INL’s CyOTE initiative released a report on the Bayesian Attack Model, which helps OT defenders collect data, analyze it & respond to adversary behavior. BAM is built on @MITRE ATT&CK for ICS & funded by @ENERGY @DOE_CESER in partnership w/@SandiaLabs.
doi.org/10.1109/TIFS.2025.36…
JUST IN: @ENERGY’s @nricnuclear at @INL is teaming with Purdue University to build and test a scaled steel-plate composite containment vessel and reactor building, generating real-world data to cut the cost and risk of building new reactors.⬇️

@INL and @ENERGY @DOE_CESER return with Principle 3 of the Cyber-Informed Engineering School: Secure Information Architecture. Every data flow is a potential pathway. Map it, protect it and focus defenses where they matter most.
Check it out:️ inl.gov/national-security/ci…
Not all data is created equal. Some data values, if manipulated, don't just corrupt a database—they move valves, trip breakers, and trigger physical consequences. Secure information architecture focuses on securing critical data from tampering.
