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 TPX configuration has progressed since the March, 1993 Conceptual Design Review (CDR). Changes have been made to enhance operating performance and improve engineering design margins. Clearances have been added to subsystem envelopes to increase fabrication space and expand assembly tolerances; design modifications have been adopted to meet changes in physics requirements and to enhance maintenance features. Configuration details of magnet leads and services have been added and major subsystem clearance requirements for assembly/disassembly have been revisited.
