Idaho Cleanup Project

Welcome to the official Facebook profile of the Idaho Cleanup Project. Of the 52 reactors, four remain in operation. Department of Energy at the INL site.

The 890 square-mile Idaho National Laboratory Site (INL), located in southeastern Idaho, was first established in 1952 as the National Reactor Testing Station. The original mission of the INL site was to develop and test civilian and defense nuclear reactor technologies and manage spent nuclear fuel. Fifty-two reactors — most of them first of a kind — were built at the site, including the Navy’s f

irst prototype nuclear propulsion plant. Today, the site's mission is focused on environmental cleanup. The Idaho Environmental Coalition, LLC, is the cleanup contractor performing work for the U.S.

Idaho Cleanup Project contractor Idaho Environmental Coalition is clearing out and filling in the basin of the Submarine 5th Generation General Electric (S5G) prototype. These actions will allow the Office of Naval Reactors to repurpose the facility for future use and maximize the value of taxpayer dollars.

At the Naval Reactors Facility (NRF) on the Idaho National Laboratory Site, the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program constructed prototypes of nuclear propulsion plants for nuclear-powered submarines and surface ships. The Idaho Environmental Coalition is currently decommissioning and demolishing (D&D) these prototypes, including the Aircraft Carrier 1st Generation Westinghouse (A1W) prototype. This work will remove legacy environmental liabilities and create future-use opportunities.
