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 Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) of the JET Facilities has been operating in conjunction with the JET machine since it was connected in Spring 1997. Initial estimates of the period of time that the AGHS would be needed to detritiate the machine exhaust gases was of the order of a year. However tritium emanation from the machine and the in vessel inventory has meant that the AGHS has operated continuously since this time. It has therefore been necessary to continue operations whilst also carrying out plant development and maintenance.
