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.

Using voltage biasing to ten concentric rings, profiles of plasma density and high azimuthal rotation velocity in a supersonic regime were controlled under three magnetic field configurations in a cylindrical magnetized RF produced plasma. Low frequency (< 4 kHz) density oscillation was identified as a drift wave type: propagation in the electron diamagnetic direction, which is opposite to the edge plasma rotation.
