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.

Neutron capture by stable palladium isotopes has been measured by time-of-flight techniques at the Oak Ridge Linear Electron Accelerator up to the inelastic 2+ level thresholds for the even isotopes (except 102Pd) and up to 750 keV for the important fission product 105Pd. Resonance parameters were extracted from resolved peaks up to a few keV. Average cross sections for the pure isotopes were derived by linear combinations of the yields from partially enriched samples. Strength functions were fitted to these data in the energy range from 2.6 to 112 keV.
