A panelist said INL's workforce "almost doubled in 10 years" across operations, maintenance, engineering and support functions and described calling on the entire lab to support accelerated workstreams.
Panelists argued that the coordinated effort — tapping Radcon, environmental, and other expertise — disproved the notion that national labs are too bureaucratic or slow to support rapid demonstrations. They said the sites demonstrated capability to coordinate across states and support companies building reactors elsewhere.
