INL researchers use LEDs to shed light on next-gen reactors
At Idaho National Laboratory, researchers have built a bridge between computer models and the lab’s Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) microreactor.
Tony Crawford, an INL researcher and MARVEL’s reactivity control system lead, designed a phone booth–sized surrogate nuclear reactor called ViBRANT, or Visual Benign Reactor as Analog for Nuclear Testing, which uses light instead of neutrons to show a “nuclear” reaction.

Material and procurement strategies and techniques for the nuclear industry must continue to evolve as we seek new ways to meet existing and future needs. This session will highlight the next wave of innovations to support supply chain improvement, from new ways to handle materials, to procure parts, and reduce inventory. Topics will center on successes both inside and outside the current nuclear utility market.
