The lab is an ideal test range for developing state-of-the-art defense equipment, including bullet and explosives-resistant armor and training soldiers and police officers to handle emergency events. Security threats are not just physical in todays world. Important facilities for energy, water, and transportation are linked together by computerized control systems and wireless communications around the world. When it comes to protecting this technology from hackers, INL employs some of the best cyber-talent in the world. They work to build impenetrable cyber walls against dark web villains so the lights and water stay on at your house and school every day.The Grid that connects us all!130 years ago, the electric company in New York City could only provide service to 100 people! Today, almost everyone in the world is connected within seconds by the top engineering feat of the 20th century: the power grid that brings electricity to our homes and charges our cars, phones and computers. Weve already explored how nuclear power began at EBR-I with just four light bulbs in 1951. Today, INL produces, supports and provides global development for the future of energy with nuclear power, biomass, and renewable resources like wind, water and solar technologies. All these types of energy support the electric network that interconnects us, but what if something happened to that grid? Imagine the entire globe going dark in an instant!Natural disasters, hackers and terrorists could cause catastrophic havoc against the electric grid and other critical infrastructure.22 23'
