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.

A training simulator that duplicates a Savannah River Plant (SRP) reactor control room is currently under construction. Because of the complexity of the SRP reactor control and instrumentation systems, a multinode neutronics model is necesssary in order to simulate the reactor core behavior. A 240-node core model, using a semi-implicit (SI) solution technique, has been developed to fill that need. The SI model has been tested with a range of transients and is found to provide an accurate simulation with the potential of running significantly faster than real time on the reactor simulator minicomputer complex.
