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 streaming ray technique was developed as a method for solving two-dimensional stationary transport problems. A formulation for applying a similar approach to the solution of one-dimensional time-dependent problems is given. As in the stationary case, use is made of an SN-type grid and a second independent grid comprised of streaming rays. For time-dependent problems, the streaming ray grid enables accurate tracking of wave fronts, while the SN grid provides a mechanism for the calculation of the scattering source. Sample calculations are given, and the results are in excellent agreement with analytical benchmark solutions.
