Critical materials, such as rare earth elements, are crucial for military hardware. They support industries like aerospace, electronics and reliable energy, which significantly contribute to the U.S. economy and national defense. Jet engines, missile systems and advanced radar equipment rely on critical materials. For instance, neodymium is a key component in the powerful magnets used in the precision-guided missile systems deployed by the U.S. military. Submarines are equipped with advanced technology, and sophisticated sonar systems, all of which depend on rare earth elements to function efficiently.

This past fiscal year, INL received experimental nuclear fuel rods irradiated in a commercial nuclear power plant to study on-site. The fuel rod technology could save electricity rate payers millions of dollars per year while increasing a nuclear power plant’s resilience under potential accident conditions. ⚛️ But first, INL researchers must subject the fuel rods to several years’ worth of examinations and experiments to prove their performance and safety.
