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.

Handling of a large amount of tritium and tritiated contaminants had been carried out many times repeatedly in the OKTAVIAN facility which is an accelerator of Cockcroft Walton type to produce 14 MeV fast neutrons by D-T reaction. To estimate the dose due to internal exposure following intake of tritium, the distribution of tritium concentration has been measured with the bioassay method and the liquid scintillation counting method by using bioassay samples in man such as urine, exhaled water and so on. On the basis of their many tritium concentration data accumulated in the OKTAVIAN facility until now, a new tritium metabolic model has been developed by modifying a conventional three-compartment model known as the most famous model. The present model was verified using measured data, and compared with other models proposed previously.
