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 methodology to adjust resonance parameters is developed and tested on the lowest-energy resonances of 238U, 240Pu, and 242Pu. It is shown that adjusting the basic nuclear parameters is the only consistent way to adjust infinitely dilute cross sections and to reduce the cross-section deconvolution problem. Taking into account the self-shielding effects enables us to treat different kinds of integral experiments (fast and thermal) and to achieve a statistically consistent adjustment. Also, the standard multigroup cross-section adjustment in the epithermal region can be interpreted as an indication of the required correction of an average reaction rate.
