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.

Electromagnetic cascades produced in lead with 2.5-GeV bremsstrahlung were studied by using a lead glass shower counter and a thin Nal(Tl) scintillator with the help of the Monte Carlo code. Measured pulse-height distributions that show the charged-particle track length or the energy deposition distributions in the detector caused by a single source photon are compared with calculated results. The energy spectra of transmitted particles obtained from the calculation are presented to show the behavior of the electromagnetic cascade development.
