Idaho National Laboratory
Boise, Idaho, United States
After a few-year hiatus, the Trilateral Nuclear Energy Dialogue resumed in Boise, Idaho. Throughout the course of the dialogue, participants sat in closed-door workshop sessions, listened to presentations and comments made during DOE’s Consent-Based Siting Public Meeting in Boise, and visited sites and facilities within the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) complex, including the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) and Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC). The overarching theme of the Boise meeting was advanced nuclear energy systems: overcoming the policy and regulatory barriers to their development and deployment, and exploring the most likely avenues of trilateral cooperation.
