At Idaho National Laboratory's Hot Fuel Examination Facility, researchers are currently working on postirradiation examination and testing for Westinghouse Electric Company's next-generation fuel rods. Accident tolerant fuels like Westinghouse’s could one day power the entire domestic reactor fleet, potentially saving ratepayers millions while increasing plant resilience. Before this novel fuel is deployed, industry and the NRC will require an extensive amount of data on how it performs. INL is one of the few places in the world with the facilities and staff expertise to obtain that data.

On day 10 of the government shutdown, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) had yet to furlough workers, but a spokesperson said that could change if members of Congress don’t agree on a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. Should that be the case, the NNSA will resort to keeping only essential unpaid workers at some point if the government shutdown continues, an agency spokesperson told Nuclear NewsWire.
