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 behavior of contained aerosols following a hypothetical accident of a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor is analyzed. The effects of turbulent coagulation, thermophoretic deposition, and reduced agglomerate density are included in the analysis. The method of moments is utilized as a solution procedure and is discussed in some detail. Calculated results are compared with previous laboratory measurements. The predictions of the suspended aerosol concentration are found to be somewhat conservative but in general agreement with experimental results.
