“Idaho National Lab has access to training aids for radiological scenarios, safety staff and training facilities for the scenarios we presented to the students. We worked in radiologically contaminated environments and in high radiation fields.”-Captain Daniel W. Arguello, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command, U.S. Army

In the middle of the Arco Desert, in Eastern Idaho, lies the U.S. Department of Energy’s 890-square-mile Idaho National Laboratory (INL).  The INL has offices in the city of Idaho Falls (known as Idaho Falls Campus), but the actual 890 square mile site (known as Desert Site Facilities) is located in the Arco Desert, about 50 miles west of Idaho Falls. It’s interesting that Google Maps does not show the actual INL site, just the offices in Idaho Falls. Google Maps does show EBR-1, the world’s first nuclear reactor (and site of the world’s first deadly nuclear meltdown), which is part of the 890 square mile INL site.

Due to the decades of radiation contamination on the INL site, it has become the logical choice for training military personnel on how to deal with radiation contamination environments: “The focus of the training is to train Army and sister service personnel to respond to accidents and incidents involving radiation or radioactive materials, conduct radioactive source recovery operations and provide radiological site assessments of areas suspected to be contaminated with radioactive material.”-First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

In the middle of August, 2021, the annual Radiological Hazards Operations Course (known to FEMA as a HOT [Hands On Training] Course) was taught by the U.S. Army’s First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar and Captain Daniel W. Arguello.  They are with the 20th CBRNE Command, which is headquartered on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.  The training is a way of preparing for future warfare: “Through this course, these outstanding health physicists are helping to keep our military ready to fight and win in an all hazards environment.”-Colonel Matt Grieser, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) used to be known as INEEL, before that INEL, before that ERDA and before that NRTS.  The name changes coincide with changes in government agencies and contractors who run the site.  You can actually take a tour of the historical and deadly site.
