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 neutron total cross section of 10B has been determined between 90 and 420 keV neutron energy by means of a transmission measurement on a boron sample enriched in 10B. Deviations in shape from other measurements are within the statistical accuracy of the present measurement and are smaller than 1.5%. In the measured energy region, no indication of narrow resonance structure was found, and the deviation of the total cross section from an E−1/2 energy dependence above 100 keV was confirmed. An analysis using the R-matrix formalism showed that this deviation can be associated with the 7/2+ s-wave resonance at 370 keV.
