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 energy spectra and angular distributions of the proton emission from the 93Nb(n,xp) reaction are measured by means of the multitelescope system at the University of Science and Technology of China. The total proton production cross sections are in fair agreement with the results obtained by other groups. The energy spectrum is explained well by the sum of the spectra calculated on the basis of the pre-equilibrium and Hauser-Feshbach theories. There are deviations from a previous measurement of the high-energy end of the angle-integrated proton spectrum. The angular distribution, which shows a strongly energy-dependent forward-backward asymmetry, is in fair agreement with the Kalbach-Mann phenomenological model.
