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.

Come join the 2nd Annual gamified, in-person workshop Tuesday, November 15, 2022, from 6-7:30 pm, centered around emotional intelligence in the workplace: Nuclear Family Feud 2.0! Similar to the popular game show, the Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee have gathered a number of fun and thought-provoking questions and polled the ANS community. See how well you know our nuclear family with questions ranging from “What’s the best isotope” to “What’s the best way to attract people to Nuclear.” No need to come with a prepared team – we will team everyone at the workshop!
