Leading the charge: INL’s role in advancing HALEU production
Idaho National Laboratory is playing a key role in helping the U.S. Department of Energy meet near-term needs by recovering HALEU from federal inventories, providing critical support to help lay the foundation for a future commercial HALEU supply chain. INL also supports coordination of broader DOE efforts, from material recovery at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina to commercial enrichment initiatives.

The electrostatic fluctuation was observed by a heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) at the central cell in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. The fluctuation of the end plates settled at both side of GAMMA 10 was observed. In the plasma, as increasing of the electrostatic fluctuation, decrease of the diamagnetism and electron density was observed. The radial profile of particle transport induced by fluctuations increased substantially. A strong correlation between the potential fluctuations measured by HIBP and end plates was observed. The electrostatic fluctuation propagated from the central cell to end cell.
