The INEEL has been conducting national security programs since its inception, and National Security continues today as one of the laboratory’s main mission areas. The laboratory has delivered products, services and solutions to the United States as it tackled its toughest battles - from World War II to today’s crucial war on terrorism.
The attacks of September 11, 2001, however, opened the nation’s eyes to a more vulnerable United States. We now recognize that not only can our citizens be threatened, but the very infrastructure that supports our society is also at risk.
The National Security Division of the INEEL is well positioned to address the needs of the nation, Departments of Energy and Homeland Security, the U.S. military, federal agencies and industry as they endeavor to respond to those tragic events and subsequent heightened awareness of our vulnerability.
We are dedicated to the delivery of science and engineered solutions that counter threats to the security of our nation - its people, infrastructure and environment.
